Senior Contracts Manager

Senior Contracts Manager – Construction

Take the next step: decision-making, department-building, board-level influence.

An established group of construction companies – with over 40 years in the industry – has recently formed a partnership with a well-regarded Tier 2 contractor, and is now building out its contracts function. We are looking for a senior Contracts Manager ready to step up: to make the calls, shape a department and help grow the business from the ground up.

This is a genuine career-defining opportunity for someone who wants ownership, autonomy and a seat at the table.

The Role:

• Lead the delivery of residential and commercial projects – on time, on budget and to profit.
• Own pricing, estimation, tendering and bidding, keeping a steady pipeline of third-party work coming through the door.
• Build out and develop the contracts department, with the autonomy to shape how it runs.
• Engage your trusted network of contractors and subcontractors, bringing in the right people at short notice when projects demand it.
• Work at board level, contributing to the strategic direction and growth of the business.

What You’ll Bring:

• At least 15 years’ experience in the construction industry, with proven, steady career progression.
• Strong, demonstrable pricing and estimation experience across both residential and commercial projects.
• An established, reliable network of contractors you can call on and trust to deliver.
• A commercial mindset – you understand that consistent tendering and winning third-party work is what keeps the business growing.
• The drive and judgement to take on decision-making responsibility and develop a department.
• “Background in civil engineering or Quantity Surveying that are relevant to construction projects is a must along with qualifications

What Success Looks Like

Projects delivered on time and within budget, profit made, a growing pipeline of work, and a contracts function you have helped shape.
