Role, Team & Location

The Site Construction Manager vacancy is based in the UK, with various project locations, requiring extensive travel. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in dynamic site environments, enjoys problem-solving, and takes pride in delivering high-quality construction projects.

While you will work closely with on-site teams, you are also part of a larger global operations team ensuring seamless execution of projects across multiple regions. You play a key role in managing site operations related to the destruction, retrofitting, and installation of gas turbine auxiliary equipment. Your expertise ensures that project execution aligns with safety, quality, and compliance standards, contributing to the successful delivery of upgrade solutions within the power generation and industrial sectors.

Any safety concerns are promptly addressed with corrective measures.

Acting as the key liaison between clients, contractors, suppliers, and internal teams, you facilitate clear communication and problem-solving to keep projects on track. You manage site challenges proactively, provide progress updates, and document safety audits and incidents.
