Job Description

Site Manager – Interior Fit-Out & Bespoke Joinery

Dorset (Projects Throughout the UK)

Competitive Salary + Vehicle Allowance + Benefits

Full-Time | Permanent

Please Read Before Applying

This role is focused on the delivery of high-quality interior fit-out and bespoke joinery projects.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience managing:

  • Interior fit-out projects

  • Workplace and office fit-outs

  • Bespoke joinery installations

  • Luxury residential interiors

  • Specialist construction projects

  • High-end refurbishment projects

Candidates from purely housebuilding, civils or general construction backgrounds without interiors or fit-out experience are unlikely to be suitable.

The Opportunity

An established specialist interiors contractor is seeking an experienced Site Manager to oversee the successful installation and delivery of bespoke joinery and interior fit-out projects across the UK.

Working closely with Project Managers, clients, subcontractors and installation teams, you will take ownership of site operations, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest standards of quality and workmanship.

This is a hands-on leadership role where attention to detail, communication skills and pride in delivery are essential.

What You'll Be Doing

Site Management

  • Managing day-to-day site operations

  • Coordinating installation teams and subcontractors

  • Ensuring works are completed safely and to programme

  • Monitoring site progress and reporting updates to Project Managers

  • Managing site logistics and access requirements

Health & Safety

  • Ensuring compliance with all health and safety requirements

  • Conducting site inspections and toolbox talks

  • Managing RAMS and site documentation

  • Promoting a positive safety culture on site

Quality & Delivery

  • Ensuring exceptional standards of finish and workmanship

  • Monitoring installation quality throughout projects

  • Managing snagging and defect resolution

  • Supporting project handovers and client sign-off

Client & Contractor Liaison

  • Acting as the primary site contact for clients and contractors

  • Attending site meetings

  • Managing expectations and resolving issues professionally

  • Maintaining strong working relationships throughout project delivery

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • Previous Site Manager, Installation Manager or Supervisory experience

  • Experience delivering fit-out, joinery or interior projects

  • Strong understanding of site operations and programme management

  • Excellent communication and leadership skills

  • Ability to read and understand technical drawings

  • Full UK driving licence

Desirable

  • SMSTS

  • CSCS Manager Card

  • First Aid at Work

  • Joinery or carpentry background

  • Experience within commercial interiors or workplace fit-out

  • Fire door or passive fire protection knowledge

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Professional and client-focused

  • Organised and proactive

  • Detail-oriented

  • Calm under pressure

  • Practical and solutions-driven

  • Passionate about quality and craftsmanship

You will be equally comfortable talking to installers on site as you are representing the business in front of clients and project teams.

Why Join Us?

  • Work on high-quality, design-led interior projects

  • Join a respected and growing specialist contractor

  • Strong pipeline of commercial and bespoke projects

  • Long-term career progression opportunities

  • Supportive and collaborative culture

  • Opportunity to play a key role in project delivery and client satisfaction
