About GS Foam Concrete
GS Foam Concrete Ltd has been operating for over 40 years and is the UK’s leading supplier of foam concrete. We are an established specialist contractor with a strong industry reputation, trusted client relationships and a growing order book.
We are looking for an experienced, hands-on SSSTS Site Supervisor to lead one of our small site teams and oversee the safe and efficient delivery of foam concrete works across the UK.
The Role
You will supervise daily site operations, lead and support operatives, coordinate with clients and principal contractors, and ensure work is completed safely, efficiently and to the required quality standard.
This is a practical supervisory role. You must be willing to work alongside the site team and take responsibility for site safety, productivity, quality and conduct.
Regular travel, early starts and stays away from home are essential.

* A valid SSSTS qualification.
* A valid CSCS card appropriate to the role.
* A full UK driving licence.
* At least two years’ recent construction-site experience.
* Previous experience supervising operatives or leading a site gang.
* Experience briefing teams on RAMS and safe systems of work.
* A good understanding of construction Health & Safety requirements.
* The confidence to challenge unsafe behaviour and stop work where necessary.
* Good communication, organisation and record-keeping skills.
* A reliable, professional and practical approach.
* The ability and willingness to work away from home regularly.
* The ability to provide satisfactory references and complete DBS checks where required.
* Willingness to comply with our zero-tolerance drugs and alcohol policy, including random testing.

* Concrete, concrete pumping, civils, groundworks, utilities, highways or specialist plant.
* First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work.
* CPCS, NPORS or Temporary Works Supervisor training.
* Completing permits, inspections, quality checks and site reports.
* Managing plant, materials, deliveries and site logistics.
* Working on infrastructure, rail, highways, airport, MOD, restricted-access or security-sensitive sites.
