Job Description
This is a pivotal Site Supervisor role for a high-profile commercial refurbishment project in the heart of London WC2. Our client, a respected main contractor, requires a diligent and authoritative leader to oversee day-to-day site operations, ensuring the project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of safety and quality. You will be the key point of contact on-site, coordinating subcontractors, managing labour, and liaising with the project manager. This role is perfect for a Site Supervisor who thrives in a fast-paced, central London environment and is looking for an immediate start with a reputable agency.
By applying through Quick Placement – The Best Temp Agency In London, you gain access to our extensive network of top-tier construction clients.

- Site Leadership & Coordination: Take full charge of daily site activities in London WC2, directing subcontractors, agency labour, and direct employees to ensure efficient workflow and adherence to the project programme.
- Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Management: Enforce the highest standards of health and safety. Conduct daily briefings (toolbox talks), regular site inspections, ensure all personnel have correct PPE and valid certifications (e.g., CSCS), and maintain impeccable site records as per CDM 2015 regulations.
- Quality Control & Assurance: Monitor all workmanship against specification and drawings, managing snagging lists and ensuring defects are rectified promptly to maintain the client's quality expectations.
- Communication & Reporting: Act as the primary liaison between the site team, project management, and the client. Provide clear, concise daily and weekly reports on progress, manpower, issues, and milestones.
- Logistics & Material Management: Oversite site logistics, including material deliveries, waste management, and plant hire, ensuring minimal disruption in the busy London WC2 environment and that the site remains clean, tidy, and secure.
What We're Looking For
- Proven Experience: A minimum of 5 years' experience in a Site Supervisor or similar foreman role, with a demonstrable background in commercial construction projects, ideally within central London.
- Essential Certifications: Valid CSCS Gold/Black Card, SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme), and First Aid at Work. A recognised apprenticeship or NVQ Level 3/4 in Construction Site Supervision is highly desirable.
- Leadership & Communication: Exceptional leadership skills with the ability to motivate and manage diverse teams. You must be a confident, decisive communicator, capable of resolving conflicts and delivering clear instructions.
- Technical Proficiency & Initiative: Strong working knowledge of construction methods, sequencing, and building regulations. You must be IT literate, proactive, and solutions-oriented, able to think on your feet to solve problems under pressure.
