Electrical Contract Manager
£70,000-£80,000 + Package
Essex
Multi Disciplinary M&E Contractor
Outline of Opportunity
We are looking for a commercially astute Contract Manager to take the reins of a newly won, high‑profile, flagship contract carrying out electrical and active fire works. This isn’t a role for someone looking to steady the ship – it’s for a leader who wants to drive it.
The contract is secure and performing well, but we need a specialist who can identify the marginal gains, unlock hidden commercial value, and treat this £4m per annum account as if it were their own business. This is a “make your mark” position. You are inheriting a stable foundation with the total autonomy to optimise, innovate, and lead a flagship account within a market‑leading organization.
The Role
As an Electrical Contract Manager, you will have full operational and commercial responsibility for the performance and profitability of the contract.

Key Responsibilities
* Full P&L responsibility for a £4m electrical contract

* Ensuring KPIs, SLAs, and compliance standards are met and exceeded
* Driving health & safety, quality, and performance standards
* Managing subcontractors and supply chain relationships
* Building and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships
* Identifying commercial opportunities and growth within the contract
* Providing strategic input to strengthen delivery and profitability
About You
* Proven background in Active Fire systems (essential)
* Strong working knowledge of fire alarm, sprinkler, and fire suppression systems
* Previous experience in a Contract Manager, Senior Operations Manager, or similar role
* Commercially aware with experience managing budgets and margin performance
* Confident communicator who can manage expectations and hold their ground
* Practical, solutions‑focused, and comfortable in a fast‑paced environment
* An electrical background is welcome, provided you have solid active fire experience
What’s On Offer
* £70,000-£80,000 salary
* Long‑term contract stability
* High‑value, established framework
* Senior leadership role with real autonomy
* Opportunity to genuinely shape and grow the contract
