Here at Ocean, we also value the journeys of all our employees and provide ongoing training, coaching and workshops to give you the opportunity to flourish and move forward with your career in education.
We have an exciting opportunity for the role of Site Manager to join our team. We are looking for a reliable, hardworking Site Manager with the skills and energy to maintain health and safety, security and general upkeep of the site.

The ideal candidate will have experience and knowledge of buildings and associated trades, have
the ability to solve and fix problems on the site, maintain a clean and hygienic environment, and understand Health and Safety standards in line with HSE as well as knowledge around risk management. Experience of working in a similar role in an education setting is desirable but not essential.
