Quick register and apply Contracts Manager - London - Permanent - Refurbishment Specialist
Location: Fitzrovia base with Central London site visits
Permanent Salary: £75,000 - £80,000 + Travel Paid + package
Start Date: ASAP

The Role:
We're on the lookout for a Contracts Manager who knows their way around a residential refurbishment like a chippy knows their way around a set square. Projects range from £200k to £1m across London, covering everything from listed gems to modern block refurbs-because not every project comes with a marble waterfall and a butler's pantry. If you're used to keeping subcontractors in line, projects on track, and clients out of the rafters, this could be for you.

Your Day-to-Day:
·Programming & Progress Monitoring: Keeping projects running smoother than a freshly plastered wall.
·Subcontractor Coordination: Managing trades with the precision of a good mitre cut.
·Contract Administration (JCT): RFIs, variations, and enough paperwork to keep your printer in business.
·Liaising with Surveyors, Architects & Asset Managers: Speaking fluent we can make that work and I'll find a way.
·Overseeing Structural and Internal Works: MEP, fire safety, drylining, ceilings-if it needs fitting, you know how to get it done.
·Maintaining Quality & H&S Standards: CDM 2015, BSA 2023-because building regs aren't just suggestions.

What We're Looking For:
·10+ years in construction, with at least 3 spent managing the joys of London logistics.
·Solid internal refurbishment experience-if you know your stud walls from your steel beams, we're off to a good start.
·Used to juggling a £500k - £1m project alongside a couple of smaller ones, ideally without spontaneous combustion.
·Happy to jump in on estimating or defect checks-preferably before the client finds them.
·SMSTS, CSCS, First Aid, Asbestos Aware preferred-but surviving a live project in London is pretty close.
·Full UK Driving Licence. Sat-nav literacy required; parallel parking skill, a bonus.

And just to be clear, while this ad might be light-hearted, I take recruitment seriously. A full and detailed job spec is available, and I'm more than happy to have a proper conversation if you think this role-or one like it-could be a fit.
