Contracts Manager – Construction

We have an excellent opportunity for an experienced Contracts Manager to join an established construction business, overseeing multiple projects and ensuring works are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

This is a varied, hands-on position that will see you acting as a key point of contact for clients, site teams and subcontractors. You will take responsibility for the day-to-day management of works across your allocated sites, ensuring programmes, quality standards and budgets are maintained.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage subcontractors across multiple live sites, ensuring works are completed to the required quality and programme.
• Act as the main point of contact between site management teams, clients and subcontractors.
• Attend pre-start, progress and site meetings, communicating actions and issues to the relevant parties.
• Manage labour and material costs in line with agreed budgets.
