Electrical Contracts Manager

The Opportunity Our client, a specialist M&E contractor based in Burnley, is looking for an Electrical Contracts Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of electrical projects across their commercial, retail and industrial client base. This is a genuine contracts management role rather than running a single scheme: you would hold responsibility for delivery, commercial performance and client relationships across multiple live projects at once. You would manage site teams and subcontractors, oversee programme and cost across your portfolio, and act as the main point of contact for clients throughout delivery. The business has built its reputation on safety, compliance and getting things right first time, so this suits someone who takes ownership seriously and is comfortable being the person clients and site teams come to when something needs sorting. This is a permanent role based in Burnley, £60,000 to £65,000 depending on experience, plus a car or car allowance and a full benefits package.

Established in the mid-2010s, they have built a nationwide client base through experienced project management and dedicated site delivery teams, working across retail, commercial and industrial sectors. They hold CHAS, NICEIC and ECA accreditation, and safety and quality sit at the centre of how the business operates rather than as a compliance formality. It is a business that has grown steadily on the strength of long-standing client relationships, built on reliability and doing things properly.
