The role
Is sitting still not an option for you? And do you love it when every day is different? Then the position of site manager at KWS Zwolle-Leek branch is tailor-made for you! We are looking for a site manager for various regions in our working area.
Your job
As a site manager, you will work in a part of our operational area, depending on your place of residence.
You are responsible for the successful execution of the project assigned to you within the established schedule and budget. The projects you deal with can vary from small-scale projects to projects up to € 2 million, sometimes even € 5 million. Think of new construction tasks, reconstructions, sewerage, urban works, or major maintenance for municipalities and provinces. It may sometimes be that you handle multiple projects at once. Daily, you work with your colleagues, partners, subcontractors, and the surrounding environment to ensure smooth execution.
You do this by organizing people, equipment, and materials as effectively and efficiently as possible. You supervise safety and the correct execution of work, and you get the maximum out of your team by motivating and coaching them. Additionally, you maintain the relationship with employees of the client and other project stakeholders. In this position, you work closely with the project manager, to whom you also provide (financial) accountability. To be able to carry this out well, it is important that you are administratively strong and financially savvy.
Responsibility? You will certainly have that! Varied work? That is certainly it! This is because you contribute ideas during the preparation of projects and you are proactive regarding safety.
You lead the execution team to deliver good quality within a reliable schedule. With the right materials, a motivated team, and a challenging project, you ensure that it is delivered on time, within budget, and with quality!
