Site Manager Recruitment Agency UK
Phoenix Gray Recruitment is a specialist site manager recruitment agency — placing SMSTS-qualified site managers, project managers, finishing managers, and site agents with main contractors, housebuilders, and specialist subcontractors across the UK. Site managers are the operational backbone of every construction programme, and finding experienced, SMSTS-qualified site management at short notice is a consistent challenge facing construction businesses of all sizes.
Our site management division handles both temporary contract placements — covering site start-ups, peak programme demand, maternity cover, and mobilisation requirements — and permanent appointments at all levels. Phoenix Gray understands the distinction between a site manager on a housebuilding programme and one on a commercial fit-out or civils contract, and we match accordingly.
