Job Description: Site Supervisor
Temping Agency is partnering with a leading principal contractor on a significant commercial development in the heart of Reading RG1. We are seeking a proactive and experienced Site Supervisor to oversee day-to-day operations, ensuring the project is delivered safely, on time, and within budget. This is a hands-on leadership role, perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys mentoring teams.
As a trusted local recruitment specialist, we understand the specific demands of construction in the Thames Valley region. This role offers not just an immediate start but a clear pathway to a permanent position for a candidate who demonstrates strong leadership and project management skills. Our client values safety, quality, and efficiency above all, and they are looking for a supervisor who can embody these principles on-site every day.
Key Responsibilities & Duties

- Manage site logistics, including material deliveries, plant hire, and waste management, maintaining a clean, tidy, and secure site at all times.
- Read and interpret construction drawings and specifications, ensuring all work is completed in accordance with the design and project requirements.
- Conduct daily briefings (toolbox talks), maintain comprehensive site records (diaries, checklists), and ensure all personnel hold valid qualifications, such as CSCS cards.
Essential Skills & Experience Required
- Proven experience as a Site Supervisor or Foreman on commercial construction projects, with a minimum of 3 years in a supervisory capacity.
- Exceptional knowledge of UK construction health and safety regulations (CDM 2015, RAMS), with SMSTS and First Aid certifications highly desirable.
- Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to motivate a diverse team and resolve conflicts effectively.
- Valid CSCS Gold Card (Supervisor) or equivalent. Proficiency in basic IT skills for reporting is also required.

Frequently Asked Questions (Site Supervisor Roles)
What does a typical day look like for a Site Supervisor in Reading?
A typical day starts with a team briefing (toolbox talk) to review safety points and the day's tasks. You'll then oversee the workforce, coordinate subcontractors, monitor progress against the program, conduct site inspections, manage material deliveries, and liaise with the Site Manager. Problem-solving and ensuring compliance with health & safety regulations are constant priorities. The role is dynamic and requires strong organisational and people skills.
What qualifications are absolutely essential for this role?
The non-negotiable qualification is a valid CSCS Gold Card (Supervisor level). While not always mandatory, most clients strongly prefer or require the SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) certificate and a valid First Aid at Work certificate. Proven experience supervising commercial construction sites is the most critical factor after these certifications.
How quickly can I start after applying?
At Temping Agency, we specialise in last-minute placements. For this Reading RG1 role, we are looking for an immediate start, often within 48-72 hours of a successful interview and completion of our swift compliance checks. Having your documents (CSCS card, SMSTS, etc.) ready will significantly speed up the process.
Is there a chance this temporary role could become permanent?
Absolutely. This is advertised as a temp-to-perm position. Our client is using the initial temporary period to find the right long-term fit for their team. Demonstrating strong leadership, reliability, and a commitment to quality and safety will make you a prime candidate for a direct, permanent contract offer.
Do you have other supervisor roles outside of construction?
Yes, Temping Agency recruits for supervisory roles across multiple sectors. We frequently recruit Hospitality Staff (General) in Bradford BD4, Security Guard / Officer supervisors in Hull HU1, and Porter supervisors in Chelmsford CM1, among others.
