Job description

Contract Manager - Passive Fire

£70,000-£80,000 + Package North London Multi-Disciplinary Contractor

Outline of Opportunity

We are looking for a commercially astute Contract Manager to take the reins of a newly won, high-profile, flagship contract carrying out extensive Passive Fire Protection works. This isn't a role for someone looking to "steady the ship"-it's for a leader who wants to drive it. The contract is secure and performing well, but we need a specialist who can identify the "marginal gains", unlock hidden commercial value, and treat this £4m per annum account as if it were their own business. You will be responsible for ensuring life safety compliance across a diverse portfolio, turning technical requirements into operational excellence. This is a "make your mark" position. You are inheriting a stable foundation with the total autonomy to optimize, innovate, and lead a flagship passive fire account within a market-leading organization.

The Role

As a Passive Fire Contract Manager, you will have full operational and commercial responsibility for the performance and profitability of the contract. You will oversee the delivery of works relating to:

• Fire Mooring & Fire Stopping
• Fire Door Through-Examinations & Remediation (BM TRADA / Q-Mark standards)
• Fire Rated Partitioning & Ceilings
• Intumescent Coatings & Structural Protection
• Cavity Barrier Installations
• Surveying & Compliance Auditing

This will include high-volume remedial programs and small-to-medium installations, ensuring strict adherence to current building regulations, golden thread documentation, and high service standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Full P&L responsibility for a £4m passive fire contract.
• Management of operational teams, including specialist fire-stopping engineers, FIRAS/BM TRADA supervisors, and support staff.
• Ensuring KPIs, SLAs, and compliance standards are met and exceeded.
• Driving Health & Safety, quality control, and rigorous technical performance standards.
• Managing subcontractors and specialist supply chain relationships.
• Building and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships, acting as the technical lead for passive fire queries.
• Identifying commercial opportunities and organic growth within the contract.

About You

• Proven background in Passive Fire Protection (essential).
• Strong working knowledge of fire door legislation, fire stopping materials, and compartmentalisation requirements.
• Previous experience in a Contract Manager, Senior Operations Manager, or similar leadership role.
• Commercially aware with experience managing budgets, P&L, and margin performance.
• Confident communicator who can manage client expectations and hold their ground regarding safety and compliance.
• Practical and solutions-focused, comfortable in a fast-paced environment.
• Accreditation's such as FIRAS, BM TRADA, or IFE certifications are highly desirable.

What's On Offer

• £70,000-£80,000 salary + competitive benefits package.
• Long-term contract stability on a high-value, established framework.
• Senior leadership role with genuine autonomy.
• Career growth: The opportunity to shape the passive fire division within a major M&E contractor.
