  • Working closely with clients, design teams, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders to maintain strong communication and project clarity.
  • Ensuring all works comply with health & safety legislation, company procedures, and industry best practice.
  • Monitoring project progress, identifying potential issues, and implementing corrective actions where required.
  • Supporting tender reviews, buildability assessments, and strategic project planning.
  • Providing leadership, mentorship, and guidance to project managers, engineers, and site teams.
This is a senior leadership role suited to someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and enjoys managing high‑value, technically challenging commercial construction projects.

  • 5–7 years’ experience in a Contracts Manager or Senior Project Management role within commercial construction.
  • A degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Proven experience delivering medium‑to‑large‑scale commercial, industrial, or institutional projects.
  • Strong understanding of construction contracts, procurement, and project governance.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder‑management skills.
  • A track record of driving programme performance, cost control, and quality assurance.
  • The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail.
  • A proactive, solutions‑focused approach to problem‑solving and risk mitigation.
What you’ll get in return

In return for your expertise, you will receive:
  • A highly competitive salary and benefits package.
  • The opportunity to lead landmark construction projects across multiple sectors.
  • A supportive and progressive working environment with strong career‑development pathways.
  • Access to ongoing professional training, leadership development, and industry‑leading systems.
