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.
They are looking for a Small Works Manager to take on the smaller end of their projects work — packages up to around £50,000 — from first enquiry through to sign-off.
The Role
- Attend site, work out what is needed, price it, and then make sure it gets delivered on time and on budget.
- 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.
- Free on-site Parking.
- Ongoing training and support with further qualifications.
- Real autonomy on high-profile sites, and a clear route into a senior projects role as we grow.
If you have the relevant skills/attributes to fulfil this role then please apply now for immediate consideration.
