Who are we looking for? We are seeking an experienced and proactive Contracts Manager who is passionate about delivering high-quality refurbishment and remediation projects and leading teams to success. This role is well suited to someone with a strong technical and construction background who enjoys being hands-on, building trusted relationships, and taking ownership of complex works from start to finish.

You will bring proven experience in high-rise environments, ideally across External Wall Insulation (EWI), fire remediation works, and major building refurbishments including kitchens and bathrooms, roofing replacements, sprinkler system upgrades, and dry risers. Confident and approachable, you will lead, manage, and motivate teams on site, using your strong people management and communication skills to drive performance, collaboration, and positive outcomes.

Commercially and contractually aware, you will be comfortable anticipating challenges, managing risk, and proposing practical, well-considered solutions. You will demonstrate a consistent focus on quality, safety, and customer satisfaction, taking pride in delivering work that meets both regulatory standards and client expectations.

Above all, we are looking for a collaborative and forward-thinking professional who values continuous improvement, embraces training and development, and brings analytical thinking and practical problem-solving skills to everything they do.
