About our client

Our client is an award-winning, architect-led design and build practice specialising in high-quality private residential renovations and home transformations across North and East London.

As a RIBA Chartered Practice and active contributor to the Federation of Master Builders, the company combines architectural design excellence with construction delivery - challenging the traditional separation between design and build.

This is a practical leadership role. You will spend most of your time on site, leading trades, coordinating subcontractors, maintaining quality standards and helping keep projects running safely, efficiently and on programme.

You will work closely with our Project Managers, inhouse Architects, and Site Managers while remaining actively involved in the build. The role combines skilled carpentry with leadership of site labour, subcontractors and logistics. This role also comes with a very clear progression path, starting as a Working Foreman to Site Manager to Site Team Leader and finally to Director. This role will really suit someone who is looking to progress their career.
