We’re on the lookout for a Regional Contract Manager to join our expanding Local Government Services team — someone who’s passionate about making a real impact in public services, driving performance, and leading high-performing teams. This is not your average operational role. It’s about leading from the front, maximising contract performance, and unlocking new opportunities in a sector where value, service, and reputation go hand in hand.
Why Join Us?
At APCOA, we're not just managing parking – we’re shaping smarter, safer cities and creating real value for local communities. As a Regional Contract Manager, you’ll play a crucial role in delivering innovative, high-quality services across a portfolio of local government contracts. You'll inspire, lead, and mentor Contract Managers across your region — driving efficiency, client satisfaction, and business growth every step of the way.
This is a high-impact, commercially focused leadership role where you’ll:
* Drive regional profitability - Own and deliver annual contribution and margin targets across a portfolio of government contracts.
* Lead high-performing teams - Inspire and develop Contract Managers to operate efficiently, meet SLAs and KPIs, and consistently exceed client expectations.
* Strengthen client partnerships - Act as a strategic partner to Local Authorities, ensuring contract delivery is aligned with client goals and community impact.

* Support growth - Play a key role in business development, shaping bids, mobilising new contracts, and positioning APCOA as the go-to provider for local government solutions.
* Champion Safety - Uphold our Health & Safety standards, ensuring a safe and supportive working environment for all.
We want a results-driven operator with a proven track record of managing large-scale contracts or services. You’ll combine commercial insight with operational control and have the gravitas to lead teams and engage stakeholders at all levels.
* Proven leadership experience in a multi-site operational role – ideally within public services, facilities management, parking, or local government sectors.
* A strategic thinker with commercial acumen and a hands-on approach.
* Exceptional people management skills – you bring out the best in others.
* Strong client relationship builder – collaborative, confident, and credible.
* Resilient, adaptable, and committed to delivering top-tier service.
* Budgeting, P&L, and KPI performance management experience.
* Travel to sites required.
What You’ll Gain:
* A senior leadership role with real scope to grow and shape your region.
* Flexibility to work in your preferred location.
* A chance to make a difference in the communities we serve.
* Competitive salary, £60K per annum, bonus, and company car allowance.
