This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected business where you'll have the autonomy to manage projects from pre-construction through to completion, build strong client relationships, and play a key role in the continued growth of the division. If you're a proactive leader with a passion for delivering high-quality projects safely, on time and within budget, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the delivery of multiple small works projects from inception through to completion.
  • Support business development and contribute to the continued growth of the division.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants and subcontractors.
  • Oversee project programmes, budgets, procurement and resource planning.
  • Monitor project progress, manage risks and provide regular updates to senior management and clients.
  • Ensure all contractual obligations are met and projects are delivered in line with programme and budget.
  • Manage tendering and pre-construction activities where required.
  • Lead, motivate and develop project teams, providing guidance and support to ensure high performance.
  • Recruit, train and mentor staff to encourage continued professional development.
  • Ensure full compliance with Health & Safety legislation, company policies and industry standards.
  • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and implement best practices across the business.
  • Resolve project and contractual issues in a professional and timely manner.
Skills & Experience
  • Proven experience in a Works Manager, Contracts Manager or similar management role within the construction industry.
  • Experience delivering construction projects valued up to £2 million.
  • Strong leadership, organisational and decision-making skills.
  • Excellent commercial awareness with experience managing project budgets and financial performance.
  • Ability to work independently, prioritise workloads and solve problems effectively.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Relevant construction qualifications, including SMSTS, First Aid at Work and a CSCS Card.
  • Full UK driving licence.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a successful contractor and make a real impact within a growing team. If you're looking for the next step in your career, we'd love to hear from you.
