Health and Safety Coordinator | Edenbridge, Kent
Permanent | £35K-£45K + bonus + package
Start ASAP

We're looking for a Health and Safety Coordinator, someone who knows their RAMS from their O&M manuals and isn't afraid to crack open a risk assessment like it's the Sunday Times crossword.
You'll be the unsung hero of the company, the canary in the coal mine, ensuring sites are safer than a librarian's bookshelf -everything in its place, nothing out of line.
If method statements and site manuals are your idea of a good time, we've potentially got a position for you-with occasional UK-wide excursions thrown in for good measure. Think of it as a grand tour of Britain's finest high-vis jackets.

Responsibilities include:
·Crafting RAMS with the precision of a Michelin-star chef plating risotto.
·Keeping O&M manuals so tidy even Monica from Friends would feel a pang of jealousy.
·Popping out to sites now and then, just to remind everyone what paperwork looks like in human form.
·Supporting the project team in a way that makes you the real project manager (but don't tell them that).

We're after someone who:
·Has experience in Health & Safety or construction coordination-if you've ever wrestled with UK legislation and won, that's even better.
·Is organised enough to alphabetise their spice rack and can navigate Excel without weeping.
·Owns a full UK driving licence and understands that site visit isn't code for pub lunch.

What's in it for you?
·£35K-£45K per annum (depending on experience).
·Company bonus scheme (because they believe good health and safety deserves a round of applause-and a cheque).
·Ongoing training and development, so you'll never be stuck reading old regs from 1997.
·A supportive work environment where your attention to detail won't just be appreciated-it'll be borderline worshipped.
·If you're the sort of person who sees a hard hat and thinks fashion statement rather than necessary evil,

Interested, or know someone who might be?
If you're experienced, unflappable, and capable of keeping both the site and the client from wandering off-course, give Spencer Wade a call:
07920 489522
[email protected]

And just to be clear, while this ad might be light-hearted, I take recruitment seriously. A full and detailed job spec is available, and I'm more than happy to have a proper conversation if you think this role-or one like it-could be a fit.

Project Manager - London - Permanent - Refurbishment Specialist
Location: Fitzrovia base with Central London site visits
Permanent Salary: £75,000 - £80,000 + Travel Paid + package
Start Date: ASAP

The Role:
We're on the lookout for a Project Manager who knows their way around a residential refurbishment like a chippy knows their way around a set square. Projects range from £200k to £1m across London, covering everything from listed gems to modern block refurbs-because not every project comes with a marble waterfall and a butler's pantry. If you're used to keeping subcontractors in line, projects on track, and clients out of the rafters, this could be for you.

Your Day-to-Day:
·Programming & Progress Monitoring: Keeping projects running smoother than a freshly plastered wall.
·Subcontractor Coordination: Managing trades with the precision of a good mitre cut.
·Contract Administration (JCT): RFIs, variations, and enough paperwork to keep your printer in business.
·Liaising with Surveyors, Architects & Asset Managers: Speaking fluent we can make that work and I'll find a way.
·Overseeing Structural and Internal Works: MEP, fire safety, drylining, ceilings-if it needs fitting, you know how to get it done.
·Maintaining Quality & H&S Standards: CDM 2015, BSA 2023-because building regs aren't just suggestions.

What We're Looking For:
·10+ years in construction, with at least 3 spent managing the joys of London logistics.
·Solid internal refurbishment experience-if you know your stud walls from your steel beams, we're off to a good start.
·Used to juggling a £500k - £1m project alongside a couple of smaller ones, ideally without spontaneous combustion.
·Happy to jump in on estimating or defect checks-preferably before the client finds them.
·SMSTS, CSCS, First Aid, Asbestos Aware preferred-but surviving a live project in London is pretty close.
·Full UK Driving Licence. Sat-nav literacy required; parallel parking skill, a bonus.

Interested, or know someone who might be?
If you're experienced, unflappable, and capable of keeping both the site and the client from wandering off-course, give Spencer Wade a call:

Oxfordshire - QS (who turns champagne taste into balanced books)
Permanent Position (Super-Prime residential)

If you're the kind of Quantity Surveyor who's calmly priced a solid gold bathtub while explaining (again) that changing the stone on the entire façade counts as a variation… this one's for you.

We're looking for a QS to join a well-established contractor delivering high-end, complex residential projects around the Oxfordshire region where the clients are lovely, the budgets are wild, and the phrase "can we just tweak the design?" usually involves moving three walls and a lift shaft.

Here's what you'll actually be doing (besides keeping the project financially afloat):

Keeping laser-focused control over large volumes of variations (because there will be many, and they will arrive late and unannounced like in-laws).
Preparing valuations and final accounts so sharp they practically do the job for you.
Producing monthly job cost analysis reports, with cash flow forecasts and forecast final accounts that make commercial senseeven when the design doesn't.
Liaising directly with architects, subcontractors, clients and fellow QSs. You'll be the calm in the storm, and the one who remembers to actually keep track of the CVIs and AIs.
Supporting site and contracts managers with the kind of cool-headed, detail-obsessed commercial insight that keeps everyone out of hot water.

This isn't a job for CV tourists.

We need someone with;
A solid, proven track record delivering complex, high-value / prime residential work. Not just someone who knows what a variation is but someone who can explain it to a client while gently prying the fourth design change out of their hands.
You'll need technical knowledge, strong problem-solving skills, a backbone, and ideally a working knowledge of how to smile while saying, "Yes, but that'll cost more."

This company?
Quietly excellent. Doesn't shout about itself. Definitely doesn't need bean bags in the meeting room to prove it's 'modern'.

Yes, it's a cheeky postbut the job is very real.
The above is a bit of fun, surebut the work's real, the projects are serious, and I don't mess around when it comes to recruitment. If you're the real deal, let's talk properly. We'll keep it confidential (no mood lighting required).

Looking for:

Site Manager
You've got the patience of a monk and the authority of a nightclub bouncer. You keep the site running like clockwork while the client asks why the reclaimed oak doesn't smell more heritage.

Project Manager
You're the human firewall between the design team's dreams and the build team's reality. You translate Can we just move the staircase? into actual tasks without crying.

You?
•Experience in super-prime residential - Sanity mostly intact - Enough backbone to tell a billionaire no, politely.
•We need professionals with battle-hardened experience in super-prime buildspeople who know that behind every polished brass tap is three weeks of drama and a delivery that went missing in Milan.
•A CV that demonstrates 'high-end residential', and a character that can keep a straight face when told the home cinema needed bespoke acoustics - for the baby's cello practice.'
•Bonus points if you've ever said that wasn't in the original spec through gritted teeth.
