Job Description

Contracts manager - Main contractor - High end refub/heritage projects £competitive - London

Your new company
This long-established construction firm operates across London and the South East, delivering a wide range of refurbishment and restoration projects. Their work covers everything from commercial and residential developments to specialist heritage and conservation projects. They regularly take on complex and sensitive sites, including museums, historic buildings, and high-end properties, with project values ranging from small refurbishments to major schemes up to £10 million.Following a planned expansion and change of leadership, they are going from strength to strength in both orderbook and productivity. As such, they are actively looking to recruit an experienced contracts manager to join the team and lead on several of the new upcoming projects.

Your new role
The role is all about keeping things running smoothly - managing 3 jobs from a technical, safety and people perspective, making sure deadlines and budgets are hit, and keeping everyone from clients to site teams updated on progress. You’ll be the go-to person for contracts, problem-solving, and making sure everything stays on track. Technically, you will be responsible for programming, progress reporting to directors, all client liaison and adding value to commercial, design and H&S departments.

What you'll need to succeed
You’ll need solid experience in a similar role, a good understanding of construction contracts like JCT or NEC, and the ability to juggle priorities while keeping a cool head. Strong communication skills are key, and if you’ve got relevant qualifications in construction or project management, even better. You will be comfortable writing/ammending programmes and be technically comfortable working with estimating, surveying, design and safety teams. Project experience in the high-end refurbishment market is a positive, as is experience of working on heritage/restoration schemes.

What you'll get in return
A competitive salary along with the chance to work with a respected traditional main contractor working on some of London's most historic buildings.
