Site Supervisor

Overview

Binnies is hiring a Site Supervisor for its Solutions By Nature (SBN) team. This is a permanent, full-time, site-based position focused on nature-led environmental delivery rather than conventional construction. The role is centered in the Midlands and South/East England, with a planned start in May/June 2026.

SBN develops and delivers environmental solutions that work with natural systems to build long-term resilience. Projects can include sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), river restoration, fish passes, green infrastructure, and integrated constructed wetlands (ICWs).

Work will take place in sensitive and visually striking outdoor settings such as riverbanks, wetlands, floodplains, and farmland. The position suits someone who enjoys practical work, time outdoors, and varied day-to-day activity.

Why this team

SBN is an expanding team delivering high-impact projects across the Midlands and southern England for major UK water-sector clients. The role offers the chance to help shape how nature-based solutions are delivered, build specialist experience in a fast-growing field, contribute to meaningful environmental projects, and develop within a collaborative team.

Role summary

As Site Supervisor, you will take a hands-on leadership role in day-to-day project delivery, supporting the Site Manager and taking ownership of site activities. The work will often involve remote, natural locations and areas near water, so strong safety awareness, precision, and environmental sensitivity are essential.

Key responsibilities

You will manage site operations from mobilisation through to completion, oversee operatives and subcontractors, keep work aligned to programme and specification, and raise any risks or issues promptly. You will also help coordinate deliveries, plant, and materials, support planning and reporting, and contribute to smoother site logistics.

A major part of the role is environmental care: you will ensure work respects sensitive ecosystems, support mitigation and control measures, and collaborate with ecologists, engineers, specialists, landowners, farmers, and other local stakeholders. You will also help maintain a strong health, safety, and wellbeing culture, especially where work is carried out in remote or water-adjacent environments.

In addition, you may be asked to support other Binnies construction projects and help improve site delivery practices over time.

Requirements

Applicants should have experience in a Site Supervisor or Foreman-type role in civils or construction, along with a solid understanding of site operations and safe systems of work. You should be comfortable supervising teams and subcontractors on active sites, and capable of working in non-traditional or remote environments. Strong communication skills are needed for working with both site teams and external stakeholders, and a full UK driving licence is required.

Preferred experience includes work on environmental or nature-based projects, holding SSSTS or SMSTS, having First Aid at Work certification, knowledge of working in or near water, and experience dealing with landowners or rural stakeholders.

The ideal candidate will be practical, proactive, and hands-on, with a strong interest in the natural environment, good leadership qualities, a careful eye for quality, and a positive, solution-oriented approach. You should also be comfortable working outdoors in changing conditions.

Additional information

This is a permanent, full-time role. The work location is site-based across the Midlands and South/East England, rather than a standard office setting. The intended start window is May/June 2026. The role is more than routine site supervision: it contributes directly to ecosystem restoration, improved water quality, and the delivery of sustainable infrastructure with long-term environmental benefit.

No salary, vacancy count, or additional benefits were specified in the source information.
