Construction Logistics Department Manager
First seen by Alion on Sep 17, 2026.
This is a site management and site design role: planning how a major construction site works — its layout, flows, and services — and then running it. It is not a works-execution role and not an equipment or workshop role.
Lead the Construction Logistics Department, with a first mandate to design and run site management for the group's largest and most complex project to date.
Design the site, phase by phase: access gates and roads, laydown and storage areas, craneage and hoisting strategy, temporary offices and welfare facilities, temporary utilities, fencing and signage — with site logistics plans kept live as the works move from mobilisation through structure, finishes, and handover.
Plan and run material flow: a delivery booking and scheduling system, unloading zones, vertical transport allocation, and laydown discipline, aligned with the project schedule and the procurement pipeline.
Manage traffic and people flow on site: vehicle and pedestrian segregation, traffic management plans, and workforce access and movement on a site with thousands of workers.
Run the site services to a defined standard: temporary power and water, lighting, waste removal, housekeeping, and site roads.
Set the site logistics rules for all subcontractors and enforce them: deliveries, storage, movement, and use of shared resources such as cranes and hoists.
Coordinate the interfaces: safety (lifting and traffic), security (gates and access control), planning (logistics phased to the programme), and external authorities where roads and permits are involved.
Build and lead the site logistics team, and set the standard the group will carry to future projects.
Requirements
20+ years in construction site logistics and site management, including senior responsibility for site logistics on at least one very large project — measured by project value, built-up area, peak workforce, and cranage.
Proven site design capability: producing and maintaining phased site layout and logistics plans and drawings — not only executing plans made by others.
Experience running delivery management on a congested or high-volume site: booking systems, unloading windows, and allocation of cranes and hoists among competing trades.
Experience managing a site regime over a large workforce and many subcontractors at once.
Solid command of temporary utilities, site facilities, waste management, and site traffic planning.
Candidates whose experience is mainly works execution, equipment maintenance, or small-project coordination will not fit this position.
Bachelor's degree in civil or mechanical engineering.
Experience on mega-projects, or alongside international contractors or consultants, is a strong advantage.
