Contracts Manager

Industry: Construction.
Location: Norwich, Norfolk
Working onsite with travel across UK sites
Contract Type: Full time, permanent
Our client is a specialist construction subcontractor working in partnership with Tier 1 commercial contractors across the UK. Their driving philosophy is to take ownership of every project as it evolves through each stage of the construction process.

They use modern methods of construction to deliver projects on schedule and within budget, while reducing environmental impact wherever possible. They pride themselves on being a strategic project partner of choice, trusted to deliver high quality outcomes across complex and fast paced environments.

They are seeking an experienced Contracts Manager to lead and support the delivery of multiple projects. This is a senior role where you will oversee performance, guide Project Managers, and maintain strong client relationships. You will play a key part in ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, and within budget, while driving consistency and continuous improvement across all sites.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage and support a small team of Project Managers.
Allocate projects and balance workload effectively.
Oversee multiple live projects at a strategic level.
Ensure projects meet programme deadlines.
Monitor costs, budgets, and overall profitability.
Support and challenge Project Managers on performance and delivery.
Act as senior contact for key clients.
Resolve issues, risks, and project escalations.
Attend key meetings with clients and main contractors.
Ensure strong health and safety standards are maintained.
Review and improve project plans and programmes.
Oversee subcontractors and supply chain performance.
Report progress, risks, and financial performance to directors.
Support tenders and preconstruction planning.
Drive consistent processes and improvements across projects.
Essential Requirements:

Experience in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or Project Management.
Strong contractual awareness.
Experience of process management and implementation.
A recognised construction qualification such as Degree, HNC, or HND.
CSCS Black Managers Card & SMSTS Certification held.
We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who have built long term careers within construction and have progressed through internal promotions. If you have a First Aid certification and Asbestos awareness this will be beneficial, but not essential.

What They Offer:

Competitive salary of £50,000 to £60,000 p.a. depending on experience.
Long-term career prospects.
Opportunity to work with leading Tier 1 contractors.
A collaborative and forward thinking working environment.
The chance to influence delivery across multiple high profile projects.
If you are an experienced construction professional ready to take on a leadership role with a respected subcontractor, we would love to hear from you!
