Glendale Countryside Ltd, one of the UK's leading national green services providers, is seeking a driven and commercially minded Contract Supervisor to join our environmental contracting business operating out of Weston-super-Mare.
Location: Weston-super-Mare (50% Office / 50% Field-Based). Contract Type: Maternity Cover (with transparent targets to become permanent). Salary: £32,000 per annum. Vehicle: Company pickup truck provided (for commuting and business use only; no private usage unless explicitly authorised).
Operating within a strict CDM-regulated environment, this role is initially offered as maternity cover. However, it comes with a clear, mathematically transparent mandate: if you hit our financial and new-business expansion targets during the initial cover period, this role will become permanent.
The Role
This position offers a dynamic 50/50 split between office-based management and field-based operations. You will divide your time equally between managing contract administration from our Weston-super-Mare office and being out on site auditing our operative teams, ensuring top-tier safety compliance, and actively scoping out the new works required to hit your expansion targets.
- 50% Field-Based (Auditing & Business Development)
- Work Stream Expansion & Sales: Walk sites, meet with prospects, and proactively identify, price, and secure the £105,000 in new revenue and 4 new customers needed to make your role permanent.
- Safety & Quality Auditing: Conduct regular, rigorous safety and quality audits on operational teams across various sites to ensure full compliance with company standards and CDM regulations.
- Operational Leadership: Supervise and support field teams delivering environmental contracting works, troubleshooting issues on the ground, and driving a positive safety culture.
- 50% Office-Based (Contract Management & Compliance):
- Commercial Planning: Process quotes, manage contract budgets, and strategize on how to maximize our stacked 20% overhead and 20% margin to hit your financial targets.
- Compliance Management: Ensure all site-specific documentation, including RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) and CPPs (Construction Phase Plans), are accurately prepared, maintained, and implemented.
- Client Relations: Manage regular communication with both existing and newly acquired clients, providing progress reports and acting as a trusted representative of Glendale Countryside Ltd.
Key Responsibilities
We want you to stay, and we are giving you the commercial framework to make it happen. To convert this maternity cover into a permanent role, you must achieve two core expansion objectives:
- The Financial Target: You need to expand our work streams to cover the cost of your £32,000 salary. Our commercial pricing model utilizes a stacked overhead recovery and profit margin. Based on this stacked model, you will be tasked with generating £125,000 as a minimum in additional revenue to yield the £32,000 necessary to sustainably fund your position.
- The New Business Target: Growing existing accounts is essential, but expanding our footprint is just as critical. On top of generating the expansion value, you are required to bring in 4 brand-new customers to the contract during your cover period.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for an ambitious leader who understands commercial realities and wants to actively build and grow a contract from both the desk and the field.
What We Offer
- Industry Experience: Proven supervisory experience within environmental contracting, landscaping, forestry, or a related sector.
- Commercial Acumen: A track record of identifying business opportunities, pricing works accurately, and a proven ability to win brand-new clients while expanding existing accounts.
- CDM & Safety Expertise: Strong working knowledge of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) and a background in enforcing site safety.
- Auditing Skills: Demonstrable experience in carrying out formal quality and health & safety audits on active sites.
- Flexibility: Comfortable managing your own diary to maintain a productive 50/50 balance between office admin, business development, and site visits.
- Qualifications: Relevant Health & Safety qualifications (e.g., SSSTS, SMSTS, IOSH Managing Safely, or NEBOSH) are highly desirable.
- Driving Licence: A full, valid UK driving licence is essential.
- Salary: £32,000 per annum.
- Company Vehicle: A pickup truck is provided for travel between home, the office, and sites (please note: this is restricted to commuting and business use; no private mileage is permitted without explicit authorisation).
- Career Progression: A transparent, numbers-based pathway to convert this maternity cover into a permanent, long-term role.
- Supportive Environment: The backing, resources, and training of a national industry leader.
