Contracts Manager Super Prime Residential
Kensington High Street London Bridge
£6m main project + side hustle (smaller project oversight)
If you've ever found yourself in a three-way stand-off between a brickie, a client's cousin who's suddenly a design consultant', and drawings with more versions than Windows this one could be for you.
We're on the lookout for a Contracts Manager (permanent position) who knows that keeping a site on track is 30% planning and 70% chasing. An experienced Contracts Manager who can see a sequencing clash coming while everyone else is still nodding in the site meeting, and who knows the emotional toll of a client changing taps... again.
This project is proper super-prime. We're talking full roof removal, extension, dormers, bespoke finishes, and a client with taste, budget, and very specific ideas about grout colour.
What you'll actually be doing
· Driving the build from pre-con to handover like it's a Bentley up Sloane Street
· Managing procurement like a Tesco delivery slot in lockdown ruthlessly
· Making sure the Project Manager is running site smoother than a Soho House cocktail bar
· Being the grown-up in the room when needed client liaison, design meetings, progress checks
· And yes... there will be a second project just to keep things interesting
Who we're after:
· Time spent (in the super-prime residential world) with reputable contractors who know that in this market, good enough' isn't.
· The kind of person who knows their way around marble, mood lighting, and million-pound expectations
· Organised, diplomatic, calm under pressure
· A seasoned Contracts Manager who can read a programme like a bedtime story, and can juggle meetings, margins and deadlines this could be for you.
I know this ad's had a bit of fun, but I'm a serious recruiter, working with a serious contractor, on a seriously good opportunity.
