Senior Contracts Manager

About you

You're a Senior Contracts Manager who enjoys taking ownership of projects and seeing them through properly. You know how to balance quality, programme and commercial performance without losing sight of the people involved.

You'll be comfortable travelling to sites across the UK, building strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and site teams, and making sure projects run as planned. You're organised, practical and confident making decisions when challenges arise.

This role will suit someone who enjoys variety, wants a genuine say in project delivery and prefers working within a supportive, down to earth team rather than a large corporate environment.

Your experience

You'll have experience as a Senior Contracts Manager, Contracts Manager or Project Manager within the fit out, refurbishment, interiors, joinery or furniture fit out sectors.

You'll understand how to manage projects from pre construction through to handover and be comfortable overseeing contracts ranging from £50,000 to £2 million.

You'll have a solid understanding of CDM regulations, Health & Safety requirements, RAMS and site compliance. Experience creating programmes of work, managing subcontractors and coordinating multiple stakeholders will be important.

IOSH or CSCS certification is expected, with SMSTS being advantageous. A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationwide is essential.

What you will be doing with your experience

You'll take responsibility for the successful delivery of fit out and refurbishment projects across the UK, ensuring programmes, quality standards and commercial objectives are achieved.

Your day could involve planning site activities, reviewing project progress, managing subcontractors, coordinating design and construction teams, meeting clients and resolving challenges before they impact delivery.

You'll oversee Health & Safety compliance, manage variations, protect project margins and ensure every project is handed over to a high standard.

This is a role where your experience will be valued, your opinion will matter and you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on project success.

About the business

This is a long established specialist contractor with more than four decades of experience delivering laboratory, furniture fit out and refurbishment projects within education and commercial environments.

The business has built a strong reputation through quality delivery, long term client relationships and repeat business. It remains independently owned and has retained the supportive culture that comes with being a successful family run company.

Many people have spent years, and in some cases decades, with the business which says a lot about how people are treated. You'll be joining a friendly team environment where people work hard, support each other and enjoy an early finish every Friday.

Alongside a competitive salary of £60,000 to £75,000, you'll receive a car allowance, discretionary bonus and access to an Employee Assistance Programme that supports both mental and physical wellbeing.
