About Net Zero Careers

Net Zero Careers supports roles that ensure high-quality retrofit delivery and compliance across residential projects. Customer-facing roles like this are vital to ensure residents are informed, safe, and satisfied while supporting the UK's net-zero goals.

About the Role

We are recruiting an experienced Retrofit Site Manager / Foreman to oversee the delivery of domestic retrofit and energy-efficiency improvement works across Shropshire.

The role involves managing works to individual residential properties owned by Shropshire Council, located across multiple towns, villages and rural areas throughout the county.

Unlike a traditional construction site, this position requires someone who can effectively manage multiple properties simultaneously, coordinate subcontractors, monitor progress and ensure all works are completed safely, efficiently and to the required quality standards.

This is a mobile, field-based position requiring regular travel throughout Shropshire.

• Conduct regular site inspections to ensure workmanship meets agreed specifications and quality standards.

• Oversee energy-efficiency improvements, including insulation, heating upgrades, ventilation and associated building works.

• Ensure installations comply with relevant building regulations and applicable PAS 2035/PAS 2030 requirements.

• Work closely with Retrofit Assessors, Coordinators and technical teams where required.

• Ensure compliance with health and safety legislation, including CDM Regulations 2015.

• Review Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) and ensure safe working practices are maintained.

• Monitor subcontractor performance, productivity, attendance and workmanship.

• Identify defects and coordinate snagging, remedial works and final inspections.

• Maintain effective communication with residents, council representatives and internal management.

• Ensure residents are informed of planned works, access requirements and potential disruption.

• Ensure occupied properties are treated respectfully and left clean, safe and secure.

• Maintain accurate records of site visits, inspections, progress and completed works.

• Ensure photographic evidence, installation documentation and handover records are completed.

• Provide regular progress reports to management, highlighting outstanding works and potential issues.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Previous experience as a Site Manager, Site Supervisor, Foreman or similar within residential construction, refurbishment, planned maintenance or domestic retrofit.

• Strong practical understanding of domestic building works and construction methods.

• Experience supervising subcontractors and coordinating multiple trades.

• Ability to manage several geographically dispersed properties simultaneously.

• Good knowledge of construction health and safety legislation and site compliance.

• Experience reviewing RAMS and conducting site inspections.

• Strong organisational, planning and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to identify workmanship issues and maintain high-quality standards.

• Excellent communication skills when dealing with residents, contractors and management.

• Experience working within occupied residential properties would be advantageous.

• Competent using basic IT systems and digital reporting tools.

• Ability to work independently and take responsibility for project delivery.

• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively throughout Shropshire.

Qualifications

• SMSTS or SSSTS qualification preferred.

• Relevant CSCS card.

• First Aid qualification desirable.

• Asbestos Awareness and Working at Height training advantageous.

• Relevant construction or trade qualifications beneficial.

Desirable Experience

• Domestic retrofit or energy-efficiency improvement programmes.

• Social housing, local authority or planned maintenance contracts.

• Knowledge of PAS 2035 and PAS 2030 requirements.

• Experience overseeing insulation, heating, ventilation or property refurbishment works.

• Experience managing multiple residential properties across different locations.

The Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will be comfortable travelling between sites, managing competing priorities, resolving operational issues and maintaining positive working relationships with residents, contractors and clients.
