Ewan Maclean, site manager at David Wilson Homes' Marina Way development in Winchburgh, West Lothian, has been named among the UK's top housebuilding professionals after winning a prestigious award at the National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in the Job Awards – often deemed the 'Oscars' of the housebuilding industry.
Rigorous judging process
Maclean is among a select group of site managers nationwide to receive the accolade following a rigorous judging process involving thousands of inspections. The award recognises exceptional standards in site management, leadership and build quality, highlighting the crucial role site managers play in delivering high-quality new homes safely, on time and to the highest standards.
With site managers passing on their skills to their teams and mentoring assistant site managers, the awards help drive up quality standards across the industry.
23 years of experience
Maclean, who has worked with David Wilson Homes for 23 years and oversaw the construction at the Marina Way development, expressed his pride in the achievement. "I'm incredibly proud to receive this award. Pride in the Job is one of the most respected recognitions in our industry, so to be named among the country's top site managers is a real honour," he said.
"Delivering high-quality homes requires a relentless focus on standards, attention to detail and teamwork every day, and this award reflects the commitment of everyone working on site at Marina Way. We all share the same goal of building homes that our customers can be proud of for years to come."

Andrew Morrison, Managing Director of Barratt and David Wilson Homes East Scotland, praised Maclean's achievement. "Ewan's award recognition is a fantastic achievement and thoroughly deserved. Pride in the Job recognises the very best site managers in the UK, and Ewan is consistently demonstrating the leadership, technical expertise and attention to detail that set outstanding professionals apart," Morrison said.
"The quality of the homes delivered at our David Wilson Homes site at Marina Way is a direct reflection of Ewan's commitment to excellence and the high standards set for everyone on site. We are extremely proud to see his hard work recognised on a national stage, and these awards highlight the important role he plays in delivering exceptional homes for our customers."
