• Programme delivery: Working to the project programme, flagging potential delays early and adapting when site conditions change.
• Health & Safety: Taking responsibility for site H&S, producing site specific documentation, briefing teams and ensuring safe working practices are maintained.
• Client & main contractor liaison: Being the face of AFS on site, handling day to day requests from main contractor site teams and always representing us professionally

• Site management or supervisory experience, including managing flooring fitters and subcontractors
• A good understanding of flooring systems, installation methods and commercial fit out
• The ability to inspect workmanship and identify quality issues

• SMSTS or SSSTS (or a willingness to work towards)
• CSCS and First Aid
• A full UK driving licence

• Freelance: competitive day rate, paid weekly, and a steady pipeline of work
• Investment in technology and digital tools that make our site managers more effective on the ground
