Contracts Manager

Contracts Manager | West Yorkshire | £70k - £80k + Car / Allowance + Package
 
Looking for a Contracts Manager role where you'll have the autonomy to run your own projects, manage your site teams and play a key role in the delivery of a varied workload?
 
We're recruiting for an established regional main contractor looking to strengthen their operational team with an experienced Contracts Manager.
 
With a strong presence across Yorkshire and the surrounding region, the business delivers a mix of new build and refurbishment projects across multiple sectors on schemes up to £10m.
 
The Role;
  • Take responsibility for multiple construction projects from pre-construction through to completion and handover
  • Manage and support Site Managers and project delivery teams across several sites
  • Oversee programmes, resources, quality and health & safety
  • Work closely with commercial teams to monitor costs, procurement and project performance
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants and subcontractors
  • Monitor progress across live projects, identifying risks and resolving issues before they affect delivery
  • Attend client meetings and provide regular updates on programme and project performance
  • Ensure projects are properly resourced and delivered to the required standards
What We're Looking For;
  • Proven experience as a Contracts Manager with a main contractor
  • Strong background in general building, including new build and refurbishment projects
  • Comfortable overseeing multiple projects at any one time
  • Experience across sectors such as industrial, leisure, healthcare or education would be advantageous
  • Confident managing Site Managers, subcontractors and project teams
  • Good understanding of construction programmes, commercial management and contractual requirements
  • Strong communication skills and a practical approach to problem-solving
Why Consider It?
  • Competitive salary + car allowance + package, depending on experience
  • Established regional contractor with a strong reputation
  • Healthy pipeline of work across a variety of sectors
  • Autonomy to manage your own workload and project teams
  • Opportunity to play an important role within the operational management team
  • Long-term position with a well-established business
This could suit an experienced Contracts Manager looking for a fresh challenge, particularly someone who enjoys managing several smaller to medium-sized projects rather than being tied to one large scheme.
 
Interested? Get in touch for a confidential conversation and I'll happily talk you through the business, workload and opportunity in more detail.
