Contracts Managers - Cladding & Facades

Contracts Manager

St Helens, Merseyside

£55-70k/annum

40hrs/week, Mon-Fri 0900-1700

Winsearch UK is proud to partner with a growing cladding and roofing specialist based in the North West who are looking to bring in a Contracts Manager to support their expanding workload. Ideally they'll be looking for this candidate to start later this summer.

This is a business that focuses on delivering commercial roofing and cladding packages across the UK, working alongside main contractors and developers on a range of projects. They’ve built a strong reputation for quality, reliability and attention to detail, and a lot of their work comes through repeat business and referrals. The role itself sits in a sweet spot where you won't just be overseeing the one job - you'll be responsible for multiple projects at different sites, working closely with site teams, subcontractors and the commercial function to keep things moving.

You'll be taking ownership of several live cladding and roofing projects across the North West and further afield. You'll be responsible for making sure they're delivered safely, on time, and in budget. Day-to-day, that looks like this:

• Overseeing muliple sites at once rather than being tied to one project
• Managing site managers, supervisors, and subcontractors
• Working closely with commercial teams to stay on top of costs and variations
• Coordinating programmes and resolving issues before they become problems
• Maintaining strong relationships with clients and main contractors
• Keeping standards high across quality, safety, and site organisation

What they're looking for

This role will be best suited to someone who has alreay stepped into a Contracts Manager role, or a strong Project Manager who's ready to step up. You'll also have to have a strong background with cladding and facades, ideally coming directly from a cladding, facade, or roofing contractor. You'll have experience managing multiple projects at once, a solid understanding of building envelope systems (rainscreen, composite, twin skin, etc.), and the ability to lead teams and keep projects moving without heavy supervision. You'll also need good commercial awareness- you don't need to be a QS, but you'll have to understand the numbers. 

Why this role is good for you

This isn't a corporate environment where everything is overstructured and you have to deal with layers upon layers of internal bureaucracy. It's a growing contractor, which means you'll have real autonomy. Your input will actually matter, and you won't be boxed into one job or a single way of doing things. 

The business works across a wide range of cladding and roofing systems, and delivers projects across the UK- there'll be plenty of scope to broaden your experience and because the company is growing (and will continue to grow), there's real progression opportunity to further your own career. 

If you're at a point where you want more responsibility and the chance to genuinely influence delivery, this is a good move. 

Package

• £55,000-£70,000 annual salary (experience dependent)
• Car allowance / company vehicle
• Standard benefits package
