We're working with a leading property services company that's delivering a major planned works programme in Hampshire, valued at £8 million. They're now looking for a Senior Contracts Manager to take the lead on this high-profile project and oversee delivery across the South East.
This is a full-time, permanent role based in Hampshire, with regular travel across Sussex, plus occasional visits to London to collaborate with the wider operational teams.
You'll be responsible for managing multiple contracts, ensuring everything runs smoothly, from health and safety compliance to performance delivery and client satisfaction. It's a hands-on role where you'll be out on-site, building strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and your internal teams, while keeping projects on track and to a high standard.
You'll be the go-to person for technical guidance, especially around fire safety and building regulations, and you'll play a key role in steering clients through the process with confidence and clarity. With long-term projects already underway, this is a great opportunity to step into a role with real impact and visibility.
We're looking for someone who's proactive, personable, and commercially minded. You'll need to be confident working with a range of stakeholders, comfortable making decisions, and ready to lead from the front.
To thrive in this role, you'll need: NVQ Level 7 in Construction (or equivalent), SMSTS certification, strong health and safety knowledge and solid experience in contract or commercial management.
It's a bonus if you have a more commercially focused background. The company is happy to support your professional development and fund relevant qualifications.
In return, you'll receive a competitive salary between £70,000 and £92,000 depending on experience, along with a discretionary bonus, 26 days holiday (plus bank holidays), enhanced pension, private medical insurance, and a range of other benefits-from flexible working and wellbeing support to professional subscriptions and volunteering days.
If this sounds like your kind of role, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now or get in touch with Jess Clark for a confidential chat.
