Site Manager
Flood Alleviation Scheme - Lowestoft

We are currently supporting Ben Acre in the search for an experienced Site Manager to join a major Flood Alleviation Scheme in Lowestoft.
This is a significant civil engineering project involving the construction of a new pumping station to help prevent flooding in the local area. The scheme is largely based out in the fields and includes extensive civils and earthworks works.
The initial contract is for 12 months; however, there is around 2 years of work available. This is expected to be a difficult and demanding job, requiring a proactive, switched-on Site Manager with strong civil engineering experience.
