This is a key leadership role offering autonomy, impact, and the opportunity to join a highly reputable company known for quality, culture, and technical excellence.

You will take full responsibility for the delivery of external envelope projects from post-sales handover through to final account.

• Full oversight of design, procurement, commercial delivery, and site operations
• Managing large-scale project budgets and programmes
• Identifying and mitigating project risk
• Maintaining excellent client relationships and contractual compliance
• Regular UK site visits and fortnightly in-office meetings

What We're Looking For

You are a highly capable, driven Contracts Manager with experience in the cladding, façade, or building envelope industries. You are commercially astute, technically competent, and a natural leader of teams and programmes.

• 5+ years in a senior contracts or project management role
• Proven delivery of high-value projects (£10m+) across multiple sites
• Strong contractual knowledge (JCT / NEC) and financial control skills
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams and external stakeholders
• A proactive, values-led approach to problem-solving and accountability

What's on Offer

This is more than just a Contracts Manager role-it's a career opportunity in a company where culture, progression, and delivery go hand in hand.

Package includes:

• £80,000-£90,000 basic salary (up to £100,000 package DOE)
• Car allowance (or company car depending on overall package)
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (increasing annually up to 30 days)
• Performance-related bonus scheme
• Pension contribution after successful probation
• Personal development plan and leadership progression pathway
• Regular recognition, wellness perks, and company-wide reward initiatives
