The Opportunity

A growing Mechanical Building Services contractor is looking to recruit an Assistant Contract Performance Manager as part of its continued expansion.

This is a newly created position, offering the opportunity to play a key role in improving operational performance across a portfolio of mechanical engineering contracts. Working closely with senior leadership, you'll support the delivery, performance and profitability of live projects while helping Contracts Managers achieve consistently high standards.

If you're currently working as a Senior Contracts Manager, Contracts Manager, Operations Manager, Mechanical Project Manager, Contract Delivery Manager or similar, and enjoy improving processes, developing teams and driving operational performance, this could be an excellent next step.

The Role

Reporting into the Contract Performance Manager, you'll oversee the day-to-day operational performance of the Contracts Management team, providing support, structure and accountability across multiple live projects.

Rather than directly managing projects yourself, you'll work alongside experienced Contracts Managers, ensuring workloads are balanced, operational challenges are resolved early and projects remain commercially successful.

You'll become a key point of contact between operational teams and senior management, helping improve communication, forecasting, reporting and overall business performance.

* Build strong relationships with operational teams, engineers and clients, providing coaching and support where required.

* Drive continuous improvement by implementing better processes and promoting best practice across the business.

* Attend client meetings and support senior management in maintaining exceptional service delivery.

* Deputise for the Contract Performance Manager when required.

* Mechanical Project Manager

* Building Services Manager

What's on Offer

* £50,000-£65,000 depending on experience.

* Hybrid working.

* 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays.

* Pension scheme.

* Business travel expenses.

* Genuine opportunity to influence business performance.

* Newly created role with excellent long-term progression.

* Work closely with an experienced senior leadership team within a growing Mechanical Building Services contractor
