Job description

Contracts Manager – Ely, Cambridgeshire

Take the reins on exciting, bespoke construction projects where your leadership and expertise are genuinely valued. My client offers the chance to manage distinctive, high-quality builds — from laboratory refits to university refurbishments — in a supportive, family‑style environment.

This is a pivotal opportunity to grow with a company that puts its people at the heart of the business. As a Contracts Manager, you’ll oversee multiple projects, shaping delivery with your technical knowledge, commercial insight, and hands‑on approach. Every day brings variety, challenge, and the satisfaction of seeing complex, one‑off projects come to life under your guidance.

In this role, you’ll manage project teams, budgets, and programmes while ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety, and client satisfaction. Working closely with the estimating and commercial teams, you’ll have the chance to influence pre‑construction planning and bring innovative, practical solutions to every build.

This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a bespoke, detail‑focused environment and enjoys the variety of managing specialist projects. If you take pride in nurturing teams, delivering excellence, and creating long‑lasting client relationships, you’ll feel at home here.

What’s on offer:

• Competitive salary of £50,000 – £60,000, depending on experience
• Opportunities for career progression within a respected, growing company
• 28 days holiday (including bank holidays), rising with service
• A collaborative, supportive culture that values your contribution
• Involvement in prestigious, bespoke projects across Cambridgeshire

With over 30 years’ experience, my client has earned a reputation for quality, precision, and reliability. Their portfolio spans some of the region’s most distinctive and challenging builds, and their close‑knit team culture ensures your work and expertise are genuinely valued.

If you’re an experienced Contracts Manager ready to lead bespoke projects and grow with a company that prioritises people and quality, apply today through Select Recruitment to take the next step in your career.
