Contracts Manager - High-End Residential
Marlow (plus Surrey, Hants, Bucks
Up to £85k + Package | Start August 2025
If you've ever:
• Juggled three live sites, two architects, and one very enthusiastic client with a Pinterest board...
• Been asked for a revised programme by someone holding a cappuccino and zero understanding of buildability
• Spent a Monday morning explaining (again) why procurement can't be done in hindsight
…then you already know what being a Contracts Manager really means.
We're working with a long-established, specialist contractor delivering luxury new builds and listed refurbishments across the South East. Projects range from £2m to £8m - beautifully designed, technically demanding, and full of the kind of details clients change just before install.
Your first project? A £5.5m private new build in Marlow (house, garages, party barn - naturally). Demolition about to kick off. You'll oversee it from day one, managing a Site Manager, before scaling up to manage multiple sites across the region.
You'll be doing:
• Programming, procurement, logistics - all the grown-up stuff
• Working closely with architects, clients and site teams
• Managing teams and motivating people (read: putting out fires with a smile)
• Bringing calm to complexity - and quality to chaos
Looking for someone who's delivered high-end residential as a Contracts Manager or Senior PM, ideally with an eye for detail and a bit of grit left in the tank.
You'll be supported by a business that:
• Has proper systems in place
• Uses subcontractors who know what "snag-free" means
• Has been doing this longer than most clients have owned houses
Start August 2025. If you, or someone you know, what to start something worth putting your name on, send over your CV's to (url removed) or give me a call on (phone number removed)
