Job Description

Site Supervisor

Halewood, Merseyside

Initial 6-month contract Likely to extend until mid-2027

Rate: PAYE Between £300 - £350 Plus holiday pay

Want to lead a major automotive installation project where your experience genuinely makes the difference?

If you're at your best when coordinating people, solving problems on-site and keeping complex engineering projects moving safely and efficiently, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

You'll join a high-profile automotive manufacturing programme supporting the delivery of a large-scale installation and commissioning project. With work expected to continue through to mid-2027, this is your chance to secure a long-term contract on a technically challenging project where your leadership will have a visible impact every day.

What you'll be doing

You'll work alongside the Site Manager, taking ownership of day-to-day site activities and leading a team of around 50 engineers, employees and subcontractors.

Your role will include:

• Leading daily site operations to keep work progressing safely and efficiently.
• Coordinating installation and commissioning activities from site set-up through to customer acceptance.
• Managing subcontractors and ensuring everyone works towards the same project objectives.
• Monitoring progress, resolving issues quickly and keeping key milestones on track.
• Reviewing technical drawings and specifications so work is completed right first time.
• Promoting a strong health and safety culture across the project.
• Supporting workforce planning, resource allocation and productivity.
• Attending progress meetings and working closely with customers, suppliers and project stakeholders.
• Supporting commissioning, final snagging and successful project handover.

Why this opportunity?

This role offers far more than simply supervising a site.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Play a key leadership role on a flagship automotive manufacturing project.
• Lead large multidisciplinary teams within a highly automated production environment.
• Work on complex installation and commissioning activities using modern manufacturing technologies.
• Build experience on a long-duration programme expected to run until mid-2027, providing greater contract stability than many project-based roles.
• Work alongside experienced engineering and project delivery professionals on technically demanding automation systems.

What you'll bring

You'll already have experience leading large engineering teams and understand what it takes to deliver projects safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

You'll ideally have experience in:

• Automotive manufacturing or industrial automation.
• Site supervision on large installation or commissioning projects.
• Managing subcontractors and multidisciplinary teams.
• Reading and interpreting technical drawings and documentation.
• Planning work, solving problems and keeping projects moving under demanding timescales.

Experience with any of the following would also be beneficial:

• Industrial automation and robotics
• Siemens, Lenze or SEW motion control systems
• HMI and vision systems
• Manufacturing commissioning
• Spot welding, GMAW, Laser, Hemming, Sealing and SPR technologies
• Reliability analysis
• Project planning and reporting

About you

You'll succeed if you're someone who:

• Leads confidently while earning the respect of your team.
• Enjoys solving problems and making decisions on-site.
• Communicates clearly with engineers, subcontractors and customers.
• Maintains high standards for safety, quality and delivery.
• Stays organised and calm when project demands increase.
