Job description

Contracts Manager – Scotland

Construction | Fit-Out | Multi-Site Projects | Travel across Scotland

Are you an experienced Contracts Manager looking for your next challenge? We’re working with an established construction and fit-out business that is experiencing a significant increase in project activity across Scotland and is looking to strengthen its team with an experienced Contracts Manager.

With a busy pipeline of projects for a major, well-known hospitality brand, this is an excellent opportunity for someone who can hit the ground running, take ownership of contracts and help deliver projects to a high standard.

The Role

You’ll take responsibility for managing multiple projects across Scotland, ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.

This is a hands‑on role that will suit someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, is comfortable managing multiple sites and enjoys building strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and internal teams.

Key responsibilities

• Managing contracts from pre‑construction through to completion and handover.
• Overseeing project programmes, budgets, resources and overall delivery.
• Coordinating site teams, subcontractors and suppliers to ensure projects run smoothly.
• Maintaining strong client relationships and ensuring expectations are consistently met.
• Monitoring health and safety, quality and commercial performance across projects.
• Identifying and resolving issues quickly to keep projects on track.
• Travelling regularly across Scotland to oversee projects and support successful delivery.

About You

We’re keen to speak with Contracts Managers who have experience delivering projects within one or more of the following sectors:

• Hotel and hospitality
• Commercial fit‑out and refurbishment
• Airport or other complex, live environments

Experience working on fast‑paced, multi‑site projects would be particularly beneficial, as would the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver under pressure.

You’ll be organised, commercially aware and confident dealing with clients, site teams and subcontractors. Most importantly, you’ll be someone who can step into an active workload, make an immediate impact and take ownership from day one.

You must be happy to travel across Scotland regularly, as the role will involve overseeing projects at multiple locations.

What’s on Offer?

• The opportunity to join an established and growing construction business.
• A strong pipeline of projects across Scotland.
• The chance to work with a recognised name in the hospitality sector.
• A varied, hands‑on role with responsibility and autonomy.
• The opportunity to make a real impact within an established team.
