Mechanical Site Manager Thatcham | 80-week programme | £300 - £350 per day or £60,000 - £70,000 + travel If you are a Mechanical Site Manager who prefers running a job properly rather than inheriting a mess and firefighting your way through it, this is the sort of role that will suit you. This position is on a sizeable secure project in Thatcham, where the mechanical package sits at around £10m. It is the kind of scheme that needs proper site leadership, strong coordination and someone who can keep standards high while works move at pace. You will not be there to simply observe progress and update someone else’s paperwork. You will be there to drive the mechanical delivery on site, keep subcontractors moving, maintain quality, and make sure the programme is being protected day to day. The project itself gives the role some weight. It is a long programme at around 80 weeks, which offers far more stability than the stop-start contract churn a lot of Site Managers end up dealing with. It also sits within a secure environment, so this is not a soft appointment for someone who only works well when everything is straightforward. You will need to be organised, visible on site and confident managing the realities of a live construction programme where access, compliance, sequencing and communication all matter. What makes the role worth looking at is the level of ownership. You will be the person overseeing...
