Electrical Site Manager

Job description

Electrical Site Manager (Black Hat / SMSTS) | Cardiff | £50,000 – £55,000 (x2)

I'm currently recruiting two Electrical Site Managers to oversee installations across commercial, industrial and renewable energy projects in Cardiff and the surrounding area.

This is a hands-on site management role for someone with a genuine electrical background, not a desk-bound coordinator. You'll run the day-to-day on site, lead the operatives and subcontractors, and hold the standard on safety, programme and quality from first fix through to handover. There's a long-term pipeline of secured work behind it, so this is a stable, permanent move rather than a single-project gig.

The right person is comfortable being the visible point of authority on site, keeping labour, materials and plant coordinated against programme, and liaising cleanly with Project Managers, clients and other trades to keep delivery moving.

Key Skills

• Strong site leadership and the confidence to manage operatives and subcontractors day to day
• Solid technical grounding in electrical installation across commercial and industrial environments
• Good health & safety discipline, comfortable owning RAMS, permits and toolbox talks
• Clear communicator who can represent the works in front of clients and other trades

Necessary Experience

• Proven experience as an Electrical Site Manager, Supervisor or Foreman
• Valid SMSTS and a Black CSCS Card
• NVQ Level 3 Electrical Installation or equivalent
• ECS Gold Card desirable
• Strong working knowledge of health & safety legislation, permits and RAMS

Site-based in Cardiff and the surrounding South Wales area, with a secured long-term pipeline behind the role.

Salary £50,000 to £55,000 depending on experience, plus benefits and genuine progression.
