We care...
That’s why we need people like you who care about your colleagues and customers as well as our business and the environment.

We are looking for an experienced Site Manager to join our busy UKPN Energy Alliance, working across Dartford and London sites. This is a key leadership role, reporting to the Contracts or Project Manager, with responsibility for managing and monitoring programmed works to maximise productivity, control costs, and deliver contractual objectives.

Here are some of the activities you will be involved in

• Managing and monitoring programmed works to maximise output, profitability, and cost efficiency
• Ensuring you and your team comply with DSR, Health, Safety, Quality, and Environmental procedures and practices
• Developing strong working relationships with clients, project team members, and key stakeholders
• Carrying out relevant testing procedures and accurately documenting results, ensuring high-quality asset records are maintained
• Making sure site teams are suitably trained, equipped with the correct materials, and that sites are left safe and compliant for other trades and the public
