We are pleased to announce that the first cohort of Front-Line Supervisors has successfully completed Level 1 of the JSM Leadership Academy – “Leading the Frontline.” This marks a significant milestone in our commitment to developing strong, capable leaders across our organisation. 

As a result of completing this programme, participants have achieved the CITB Supervisor CSCS Gold Card, following their completion of the NOCN Level 3 Occupational Work Supervision NVQ. This accreditation reflects the high standards of competence, professionalism, and leadership that the programme is designed to build. 

This inaugural group has demonstrated exceptional dedication and resilience, balancing demanding site responsibilities with a rigorous development programme. Their commitment to strengthening health and safety, operational excellence, and continuous improvement sets a strong benchmark for future cohorts. 

We also extend our appreciation to HSP Training for their ongoing partnership and to Aaron Hickman, NVQ Assessor, for his support throughout the assessment process. He shared: 

These delegates showed outstanding dedication and a real commitment to health, safety, and leadership on site. JSM were incredibly supportive throughout the assessment process, ensuring their team had everything they needed to succeed. A hugely well‑deserved achievement for everyone involved! 

Our Chief People Officer, Helen Stewart, added: 
Huge congratulations to our first cohort completing the Leading the Frontline course from our Leadership Academy. Taking time away from your day job is never easy, especially for our supervisory teams in busy roles and projects. Your commitment to your role and company is demonstrated in the outcome of this training. Thank you! This programme exists to build the leaders JSM needs, and this is just the start.

We are incredibly proud of this achievement and look forward to seeing these newly qualified Supervisors continue to grow, inspire, and lead within JSM. 

Here’s to building safer sites, stronger teams, and brighter futures. 

Last week marked a major milestone for JSM as we officially launched “Leading on the Frontline”, our first-ever Operational Supervisor Leadership Development Programme delivered through the JSM Academy with our delivery partner HSP Training & Consultancy Ltd.

A cohort of 10 Operational Supervisors from across the business started their first 5-day training block at our Training Centre in Creek Road, Barking. This programme is designed to strengthen frontline leadership capability and support JSM’s long-term people and growth strategy.

Upon completion, attendees will have earned their Level 3 Diploma in Occupational Work Supervision (Construction), which leads to CSCS Gold Card eligibility.

Leading on the Frontline is more than a training programme, it’s about empowering our supervisors with the skills, confidence, and qualifications to lead effectively and safely. Investing in our frontline leaders is investing in the future of JSM.

Helen Stewart, Chief People Officer at JSM
