An established and growing Manchester-based contractor is looking to appoint a Contracts Manager to support and help drive the continued expansion of their nationwide fire division.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a business that is already delivering consistent revenue in fire safety works, but is now actively investing in scaling this part of the operation — offering real scope to influence growth, processes, and long-term direction.
You’ll be responsible for managing passive fire protection projects across a range of sectors, working closely with senior leadership to strengthen delivery and support business growth across the UK.
Projects include fire door installation and remediation, fire stopping, and wider compliance-led works across commercial and public sector environments.
Key responsibilities include
- Managing multiple passive fire protection projects across the UK
- Overseeing site teams including fire door installers and fire stoppers
- Ensuring works are delivered in line with compliance standards (e.g. BM TRADA)
- Client liaison across key frameworks and national contracts
- Managing programme, quality, and commercial performance of projects
- Supporting operational growth within the fire division and generating new business development opportunities
What we’re looking for
- Experience in passive fire protection (fire doors and/or fire stopping)
- Background in a Project Manager or Contracts Manager role
- Strong understanding of compliance and third-party accreditation standardsli>
- Ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders
- Ideally, existing industry network (clients, subcontractors, or operatives)
The opportunity
- Join a business with strong existing client relationships across major frameworks
- Be part of a growing fire division with clear investment and ambition
- Work across a diverse portfolio including education, commercial, healthcare, and specialist environments
- Opportunity to shape processes and contribute to long-term growth
This isn’t just another delivery role — it’s an opportunity to step into a business where the fire division is already performing, but still has significant headroom for growth.
You’ll be working closely with leadership, giving you visibility, influence, and the chance to play a key part in how this function evolves.
