Why It's Hard to Find Site Managers in Reading
Experienced site managers are the most candidate-short discipline in UK construction. The best candidates are typically employed and not actively looking, requiring a proactive approach to reach them.
Thames Valley rates are among the strongest outside London — reflecting high living costs and sustained commercial and residential demand.

- CSCS Black Card (NVQ Level 6 or 7) check confirmed
- Reference checking as standard
