Assistant Site Manager

An Assistant Site Manager is someone who works closely with the main Site Manager, to ensure that a project is completed safely and on time. These kinds of roles are generally found in the construction sector, but they can also be found in several other industries, including manufacture, or even retail. The Assistant Site Manager will be responsible for checking a site to make sure there are no issues before construction begins, as well as making sure any safety requirements for site workers are met. If products are involved, then site managers are the ones who ensure that everything is running smoothly, and that finished product quality is maintained.

Once a project starts, or production is underway, Assistant Site Managers are tasked with helping the main Site Manager ensure the day to day smooth running of operations. They’re also the ones that will be in charge when the main Site Manager is otherwise engaged or off-site for any reason.

Skills/Qualifications

The exact nature of the skills and qualifications needed for this role will depend on the sector you’re looking for work in. For construction site managers, then a range of site management and safety-related qualifications including CSCS, SMSTS, and First Aid will often be essential. Previous tradesperson experience can also be advantageous. A civil engineering degree or related qualification will also be useful, but not always essential.

In terms of skills, communication and leadership are highly valued for this role by most employers, as you will regularly be communicating with, and managing, a workforce. Being comfortable with technology and data will also be important, especially when it comes to data analysis. Detailed product knowledge and an understanding of manufacturing processes and operations will also be beneficial for roles that handle products.
