Description
General Site Supervisor – Fixed Term (12 Months)
- Lead a flagship project that will shape the future of our Cambridge village.
- Hands-on leadership with real impact – manage a growing team and multiple trades.
- Be part of a purpose-driven organisation committed to innovation, kindness, and excellence.
At Ryman, we’re building communities that care, and we’re looking for an experienced General Site Supervisor to join our team on a major build project at Patrick Hogan Village in Cambridge. This is a fixed-term role for 12 months, starting immediately, where you’ll spend 90% of your time on site, ensuring everything runs smoothly and safely.
About the Role
- On-site presence required (No FIFO).
- Oversee and coordinate all trades – electrical, plumbing, wall linings, brickwork, mechanical, painting, and internal finishes.
- Manage day-to-day operations for the main village centre, a two-level building.
- Supervise a growing team: starting with 40–50 people daily, scaling up to 100+ at peak.
- Ensure safety, quality, and timelines are met.
- Civil experience is a bonus but not essential.
Project Snapshot
- Approx. 11,100 sqm footprint.
- Ground floor blockwork, suspended slab, timber framing on level two.
- One crawler crane on site.
- Townhouses are part of the overall development, but this role focuses on the main building.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as a General Site Supervisor – not trade-specific.
- Strong building knowledge and practical experience.
- Ability to manage multiple trades and subcontractors.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
