Bargate Homes helps to build the next generation of site managers

Bargate Homes is helping to build its next generation of site managers, with five members of its construction team having taken their NHBC Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations.

The specialist qualification, run by the National Housing Building Council (NHBC) is designed for experienced project managers, site managers, assistant site managers, and construction company directors/owners, who are looking to validate the skills and experience gained during their managerial career in the sector.

Three long-term employees of Bargate Homes – Tim Greenwood, Dan Milczarek and Sean McCoy – recently achieved the qualification, with two more of the company’s site managers – Sammy Lees and Zac Meads – are on track to attain the qualification this year.

Mark White, Managing Director of Bargate Homes, said: “Investing in the career development of our team is central to Bargate Homes’ company culture.

“It has been wonderful to support Tim, Dan, Sean, Sammy, and Zac in their personal journeys to receive this prestigious and well-earned  management qualification.

“As well as assisting their own career progression, by giving them people and project management tools and specialist knowledge, their skill development helps us to achieve our corporate goals for construction excellence.

“We will continue to do all we can to inspire and invest in the next generation of construction professionals and support our team to achieve their maximum potential.”

The Bachelors-level course covers every stage of the site construction process, from start to finish, including modules on health and safety, site set up, pre-start procedures, environmental considerations, planning, resourcing, quality, customer satisfaction and handover.

The work-based qualification is aimed to encourage those to have the confidence and understanding of overseeing larger projects and sites, with the authority, accountability, and decision-making that comes with site management roles.

Tim Greenwood and Dan Milczarkek have both worked at Bargate Homes for more than six years, with Tim most recently acting as site manager at the firm’s Norton Chase scheme located in Lovedean, and Dan currently acting as site manager at its Hamblewood development in Hedge End.

Sean McCoy has been with Bargate Homes for just over 18 months, and is currently assistant site manager at Hamblewood, Hedge End.
