Job Description
T&D Electrical is an established electrical contractor delivering large-scale residential and mixed-use developments for leading developers and principal contractors.
Due to our ongoing workload and continued growth, we are looking for an experienced Electrical Contracts Manager to join our management team.
We are looking for someone who has already demonstrated the ability to manage substantial electrical installation contracts, typically valued between £2 million and £5 million, and who understands the demands of delivering major residential projects.
This is a hands-on management role requiring strong programme management, commercial awareness, effective leadership and the ability to build positive working relationships with clients and site teams.
You will work closely with our Operations Director and site supervisors, taking responsibility for the successful delivery of projects from mobilisation through to commissioning and handover.
Key Responsibilities
- Take ownership of electrical contracts, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on programme and within budget.
- Develop, monitor and manage construction programmes, proactively identifying delays and implementing recovery plans.
- Plan and coordinate labour, subcontractors and materials to meet programme requirements.
- Manage and support site supervisors, foremen and electrical operatives, setting clear targets and monitoring productivity.
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with principal contractors, site management teams and consultants.
- Attend and lead progress meetings, providing accurate updates on programme, resources and outstanding actions.
- Oversee commercial performance, including monthly valuations, variations, cost reporting and forecasting.
- Identify and resolve design, technical and coordination issues before they affect progress.
- Ensure high standards of health and safety, workmanship, housekeeping and quality assurance are maintained.
- Maintain accurate project records, including progress reports, labour allocations, delays and instructions.
- Coordinate testing, commissioning, certification and project handover.
Requirements
We are specifically looking for candidates with proven experience managing substantial electrical contracts within the construction industry.
- Significant experience in electrical contracting, ideally gained in a Contracts Manager or Project Manager role.
- A proven track record of managing large electrical installation projects, particularly multi-unit residential developments.
- Experience working directly with major developers and principal contractors.
- Strong understanding of construction programmes, labour planning and resource management.
- Good commercial awareness, including valuations, variations, project costs and budgets.
- Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities without constant supervision.
- Strong communication and leadership skills, with the confidence to manage client relationships and site teams.
- Good technical understanding of electrical installations, drawings, specifications and relevant regulations.
- Full UK driving licence.
Experience managing electrical packages in the £2 million to £5 million range will be particularly advantageous.
We are looking for someone who can anticipate problems, make decisions, take responsibility and drive projects forward rather than simply report on progress.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary of £50,000 to £75,000 depending on experience.
- Company vehicle or car allowance.
- Company pension.
- Established workload with major residential developers.
- Opportunity to work on significant, high-profile construction projects.
- Support from an experienced management and technical team.
- Long-term career progression within a growing business.
