An experienced Electrical Small Works Manager is required to join a growing electrical contractor in Coulsdon, London. This full-time, permanent position offers a salary of £55,000 to £65,000, plus a company car or allowance, pension, and private medical cover. The successful candidate will manage electrical projects up to £50,000 from initial enquiry through to final sign-off.
Responsibilities include:
- Conducting site surveys
- Preparing quotations
- Overseeing installation and fit-out works for main contractors and end clients
Strong pricing abilities, technical knowledge of electrical systems, and proven project management skills are essential for this role, which also involves work on security-sensitive compliance sites. Excellent opportunity for an experienced Small Works Manager (Electrical) to join a well-established company based in Coulsdon.
The Company: They are a small but growing electrical contractor based in Coulsdon. They work across two sides of the industry: electrical testing, inspection and compliance for high-profile, security-sensitive sites, and installation and fit-out projects for main contractors and end clients.
The Role: You will attend site, work out what is needed, price it, and then make sure it gets delivered on time and on budget. It is varied and fast-moving: some days you will be quoting, others you will be out on site keeping three or four jobs moving at once.
Key tasks include:
- Site visits and surveys, often at short notice
- Pricing and quoting works up to around £50,000
- Planning labour, materials and access, and booking works in with clients
- Managing several live jobs at once — engineers, subcontractors, deliveries and programme
- Protecting margin, including pricing and agreeing variations
- Being the main point of contact for your clients, from enquiry through to handover
A lot of their work is in occupied buildings, so the role involves some out-of-hours and weekend working. This is always paid as overtime on top of your salary.
What we are looking for:
- Time-served electrician, City & Guilds or NVQ Level 3 qualified
- 18th Edition (C&G 2382) and ECS/JIB Gold Card
- Commercial electrical experience — offices, fit-out, banking, data centres or similar
- Able to price work from a site visit and a set of drawings
- Some experience of supervising, running or pricing your own jobs, even on a smaller scale
- Organised, able to juggle several jobs at once, and confident dealing with clients
- Full UK driving licence
Desirable: fit-out or refurbishment experience, SSSTS or SMSTS, experience on occupied or security-cleared sites, SimPro, IPAF/PASMA. You do not need to have held a small works or contracts manager title before. If you have come off the tools, have run your own jobs, and want to build a role around yourself, we want to hear from you.
Benefits:
- £55,000 – £65,000 depending on experience
- Company vehicle or car allowance
- Out-of-hours work paid as overtime
- Company pension
- Private medical insurance
- Medicash
- Phone, laptop and tablet
