We are currently working with a well-established small contractor who is looking to appoint a Contracts Manager to oversee a small portfolio of live projects around the St. Albans area.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a close-knit business delivering high-quality residential schemes, with real autonomy and the chance to make a visible impact.
The Role
The successful candidate will be responsible for running circa 3 live projects at any one time, with a combined turnover of approximately £2 million. Projects typically include:
* High-end residential refurbishments
* Extensions and loft conversions
* Basement construction
* Small new-build and structural works
You will oversee projects from pre-start through to handover, managing site teams, subcontractors, programmes, costs, quality and client relationships.
Key Responsibilities
* Overall delivery of multiple residential projects
* Programme and cost control
* Management of Site staff and subcontractors
* Client liaison and progress reporting
* Ensuring H&S, quality and compliance standards are met
* Supporting procurement and commercial control
Candidate Profile
* Proven experience as a Contracts Manager, Project Manager, or Senior Site Manager within residential construction
* Background in refurbishments, extensions, lofts or basements is highly desirable
* Strong organisational and communication skills
* Hands-on, commercially aware and proactive
Aspiring Site Managers who are ready to step up into a Contracts Manager role will also be considered, provided they have run multiple residential projects and are keen to progress.
If you’re looking for a role where you won’t be lost in a corporate structure and want real responsibility and progression, this could be an excellent next step
