Site Manager

A Site Manager is in charge of making sure that everything on a construction site runs smoothly. They help plan how buildings are going to be made, make sure the workers are doing their jobs safely, and make sure the project is finished on time. They are the person who solves problems if anything goes wrong and makes sure the site is a safe place for everyone.

What tools do you need to do your job?
A Site Manager doesn’t use hammers or drills like the builders do, but they need a few important tools to help them do their job well. They use things like a clipboard or tablet to write down notes and check lists. They also have a phone to call other workers, and sometimes a walkie-talkie to talk to people on different parts of the site. They also wear safety gear like a helmet and a bright jacket to stay safe.

What makes a good Site Manager?
A good Site Manager is organized and can think ahead. They need to be able to solve problems quickly and make sure everything is going according to plan. They should also be friendly and helpful, because they work with lots of people. Being a good listener is also important, so they can understand what the workers need and fix any issues. Safety is super important too, so a good Site Manager makes sure that everyone stays safe on the job.

What do you do each day?
Every day, a Site Manager walks around the construction site to check that everything is in place and safe. They talk to the workers to make sure they’re doing their jobs correctly and check the schedule to see if the project is on time. They also talk to other people like suppliers to make sure they have the materials they need. If there’s a problem, the Site Manager comes up with a plan to fix it quickly. At the end of the day, they make sure everything is packed away safely and everyone knows what to do the next day.
