We understand this approach is essential to ensure we consistently win work and secure repeat business.

Key Responsibilities
As a focused Contracts Manager, we will look to you to take responsibility of projects from receipt of order to final account stage, produce project site files, be responsible for application of project programme timescales, and build the programme of works for production. We'll trust you to be responsible for the assessment of all sub-contractor H&S documentation, including client employed contractors, and the preparation/collation of Principal Contractor H&S documentation.
You'll also be expected to be involved with client site progress meetings with property team and the project interested parties (safety consultants, designers, local authority, or property tenants), as well as conducting weekly labour and production review meetings, reporting to the board, and preparing senior management reports for weekly client SMT updates.
Working collaboratively with the assigned Quantity Surveyors, you'll be monitoring the project lifecycle cost, engaging with the buyer to achieve cost effective materials and sub-contract teams, and ensuring any additional works requested are costed & submitted for approval by the QS before being undertaken onsite.
What do we need from you?
The ideal candidate will have a strong background relating to Cladding, Housing Maintenance, Capital Projects/Works, Residential Buildings, Property Construction, or Minor Works.
What will you receive?
You can expect a competitive salary and an outstanding package that includes a company car, private healthcare, a matched pension scheme up to 7.5%, 26 days' annual leave (with the opportunity to buy or sell holiday), two employee Share Scheme options, together with additional valuable benefits such as:

Pre-employment checks
It's worth remembering that if you are successful, we'll undertake the relevant / standard pre-employment checks after you have been offered a job. This includes taking up your references, verifying your right to work in the UK, verifying your driving licence (if applicable) and a health assessment.
Due to the nature of this role, you will also be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check (applicants with criminal convictions will be treated on a case by case basis. We do not discriminate based on an applicant's criminal record or the details of any offences disclosed to us). Some roles may also be subject to further pre-employment checks.
