Senior Site Manager

FRS Recruitment are working with a leading Waterford developer to recruit an experienced Site Manager for an extensive pipeline of projects across Waterford City and County.

The initial project is expected to be a major hotel redevelopment in Waterford City, offering something quite different from a standard new-build project. The development will involve the complete transformation of an existing older hotel into a modern, high-quality hospitality development, while incorporating and working around important heritage elements.

The project will include extensive structural and refurbishment works, and a full-scale remodel across five floors, providing an interesting and technically varied project from initial works through to final fit-out and completion. Importantly, this will be the contractor's own development, providing strong involvement and ownership throughout the delivery process.

This offers excellent long-term security and genuine opportunities to progress into more senior management positions.
