Job description

Contracts Manager – Geotechnical
Based in Chesterfield

We’re working with one of the leading names in the geotechnical and foundations world, and they’ve got a key role open for a Contracts Manager.

This isn’t just a live role — it’s a crucial one. They need someone to step in and lead across major projects involving minipiles, anchors and grouting, supporting work across the UK.

You’ll need a solid background with a geotechnical contractor — ideally with 5+ years under your belt. If you’re a qualified engineer or working towards chartership, this could be a great fit.

Hands-on experience with things like anchors, minipiles, permeation or jet grouting, rock or compaction grouting, or slurry walls will really help you hit the ground running.

It’s a national role, so you’ll need to be open to some travel and the occasional stay away when needed.

Success in this role comes down to keeping projects safe, profitable, well-run and supported. There’s a good setup in place already — what they need now is someone to take ownership and drive things forward.

Salary is open and will reflect your experience
Car or car allowance available
Excellent pension included
