Site manager
In the construction industry, site managers, often referred to as construction managers, site agents or building
managers, are responsible for the day-to-day on site running of a construction project. Site managers are required to
keep within the timescale and budget of a project, and manage any delays or problems encountered on-site during a
construction project. Also involved in the role is the managing of quality control, health and safety checks and the
inspection of work carried out. Many site managers will be involved before site activity takes place, and are
responsible for managing communications between all parties involved in the on-site development of the project.
Site managers are often required to deal with inquiries and communication with the public. Typically a site manager
is employed by a construction company, contractor or civil engineering firm but are often employed by local
authorities to oversee the refurbishment of council owned properties.
Qualifications
Qualifying as a site manager in the UK can be done by several routes, with many site managers having progressed
from project or contract management roles. The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) provides an educational and
accreditation framework for structural engineers and other roles in the industry, and a specific Graduate Diploma
Programme for those occupying jobs in construction but without a construction related degree.
