Are you an experienced Contracts Manager with a background in heritage, conservation, refurbishment or high-end construction?

We are working with an established specialist construction company with a long-standing history in the industry, who are looking to appoint an experienced Contracts Manager to join their growing team.

Coordinating site teams, subcontractors and specialist trades
Working closely with clients, architects, consultants and the wider design team
Reviewing programmes and ensuring key milestones are achieved

Heritage and conservation
Listed buildings and historic properties
High-end residential
Bespoke refurbishment

Luxury or period properties
You will be confident managing projects, people, subcontractors and clients, with a strong understanding of construction processes, programmes, contracts and commercial management.

A genuine appreciation for quality workmanship, traditional construction and attention to detail would be highly advantageous.

The Opportunity
