Over the last 15 years, specialist ceiling contractors have increasingly amalgamated with drylining businesses, and as a result the once clearly defined niche skill set has become blurred.
That said, truly focused metal ceiling projects very much still exist, and this is one of them. Our client, a recognised specialist and industry leader in the design, manufacture and installation of metal, chilled & heated and fire-rated ceiling systems, has secured a £10M metal ceiling package in Oxford. This is a high-profile, technically demanding scheme that sits firmly in the flagship category for the business.
Due to this upcoming project, they are seeking an experienced Contract Manager who will play a pivotal role in the delivery of this £10M installation, supported by a small number of additional, lower-value projects. This Oxford scheme is not business as usual; it will require careful coordination, strong commercial awareness and a deep understanding of complex metal ceiling interfaces, sequencing and tolerances. It is a project that will challenge, stretch and ultimately showcase your capability.
Our client is specifically looking for a Contract Manager with previous experience delivering metal ceiling projects, as a strong technical grasp of the nuances of metal ceiling systems and installation methodologies is essential to the success of the role.
This represents a rare opportunity to step away from an owner-managed subcontracting environment and into a business with genuine structure, stability and financial backing a company that actively invests in its people.
They offer excellent training and development, supported by a structured employee development programme combining in-house product and systems training with external professional qualifications. This includes progression towards NVQ Level 7, advanced planning expertise using Asta, and the development of strong, confident leadership capability.
This role is being offered on a hybrid basis, with a mixture of home and site working.
