Are you an experienced Contracts Manager with a background in heritage, conservation, refurbishment or high-end construction?

We are working with an established specialist construction company with a long-standing history in the industry, who are looking to appoint an experienced Contracts Manager to join their growing team.

The business has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality, complex and bespoke construction projects, with a particular focus on heritage, conservation, restoration and high-end residential work.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Contracts Manager who enjoys working on unique projects where quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail are paramount.

As Contracts Manager, you will take responsibility for the successful delivery of a number of projects, working closely with clients, consultants, designers, site teams and specialist subcontractors.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing projects from pre-construction through to completion
• Overseeing multiple projects, ensuring they are delivered safely, on programme and to the required quality
• Managing project budgets, costs and commercial performance
• Coordinating site teams, subcontractors and specialist trades
• Working closely with clients, architects, consultants and the wider design team
• Reviewing programmes and ensuring key milestones are achieved
• Managing variations, valuations and contractual matters
• Ensuring works comply with relevant specifications, regulations and heritage requirements
• Supporting and mentoring Site Managers and project teams
• Maintaining strong relationships with clients and project stakeholders
• Ensuring the company's high standards of workmanship and attention to detail are maintained throughout delivery

We are looking for an experienced Contracts Manager with a strong construction background and ideally experience within one or more of the following:

• Heritage and conservation
• Listed buildings and historic properties
• High-end residential
• Bespoke refurbishment
• Traditional construction
• Specialist restoration
• Luxury or period properties

You will be confident managing projects, people, subcontractors and clients, with a strong understanding of construction processes, programmes, contracts and commercial management.

A genuine appreciation for quality workmanship, traditional construction and attention to detail would be highly advantageous.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established specialist contractor with an excellent reputation and a diverse portfolio of projects.

Rather than working on standardised construction schemes, you will have the opportunity to deliver prestigious, bespoke and technically challenging projects, including heritage properties, conservation work and high-end developments.

If you're an experienced Project Manager or Contracts Manager looking for a role where quality and craftsmanship genuinely matter, we'd be keen to hear from you.
