 Career as a Business Site Manager

The Good Careers Guide states that building site managers supervise the work carried out on construction sites.  Some building site managers are self-employed as contractors or consultants to larger building companies.  A building site manager may perform the following tasks:

• Provide skilled assistance to builders in planning and organising building projects by interpreting and carrying out their directions.
• Interpret building plans, regulations and codes of practice in order to direct the progress of work and monitor compliance with construction documents.
• Calculate costs and estimate completion times to prepare tender bids and deal with contract variations.
• Arrange supply of materials and equipment.
• Draw up detailed programs for site works and the coordination of building workers, and record variations from design drawings or specifications.
• Negotiate with subcontractors and make reports for builders and architects.

Site managers usually have a tertiary qualification in building and/or construction management.
