Sector: Commercial Flooring (Specialist Sub-Contracting)
The Opportunity
On behalf of a prestigious and rapidly expanding North East contractor, Randstad is seeking a high-caliber Flooring Contracts Manager.
Our client is a key player in the regional market, known for delivering high-spec flooring solutions across commercial, education, and healthcare sectors. This role offers the opportunity to join a business that values autonomy and technical expertise, moving away from "micro-management" to focus on high-quality delivery and long-term client relationships.
The Role
As the Flooring Contracts Manager, you will take full ownership of the project lifecycle. You aren't just managing a schedule; you are the commercial and technical lead for multiple concurrent projects across the North East.
Key Responsibilities:
Operational Leadership: Manage multiple flooring contracts from pre-start meetings through to final handover.
Commercial Management: Oversee project budgets, variations, and valuations to protect margins.
Technical Excellence: Provide expert advice on materials (LVT, Resin, Carpet Tile, Vinyl) and sub-floor preparation.
Supply Chain: Coordinate directly with site supervisors and a loyal pool of sub-contractor labor.
Client Liaison: Act as the face of the business for Main Contractors and direct end-users.
The Requirements
We are looking for a specialist. You must have a deep understanding of the flooring industry and the unique challenges of sub-contractor management.
Experience: Minimum 3-5 years in a Contracts Management or Senior Project Management role within the flooring sector.
Knowledge: Strong technical understanding of commercial flooring systems and British Standards for installation.
Qualifications: CSCS Black Card (preferred), SMSTS, and a full UK Driving Licence.
Commercial Sharpness: Proven ability to spot variations and manage project costs effectively.
The Package
Salary: Competitive base salary (negotiable based on experience).
Vehicle: Choice of company car or a generous car allowance.
Balance: A regional focus-rarely will you be expected to travel outside the North East.
Progression: Clear pathway to Senior Management within a stable, growing firm.
