Contracts Manager

Expired

Job Description:

Contracts Manager
Greater Manchester and Yorkshire
Permanent position – circa £60k - £70k plus package and bonus

 

The Company

My client is one of the most forward-thinking developers in the housebuilding industry and have put together an amazing set of housetypes that appeal to a new generation of buyers. They historically build in Yorkshire but are branching out to Greater Manchester and have bought several parcels of land to develop.

They are a very progressive and modern business that have a very agile working environment. They have revolutionised their construction sites with top of the range technology to ensure each site manager is taken care of.

The company have an enviable working environment and work hard to empower their staff by giving them responsibility, and the tools to be able to do their jobs to the best of their ability.

 

The Position

My client has historically worked across Yorkshire and is now expanding to Greater Manchester and as such requires a well-versed construction professional to oversee these upcoming sites.

The role will require somebody who can get across to West Yorkshire for 6-12months until their North West sites are up and running but will then ultimately be the Construction lead for the region, and report to the Construction Director.

Once underway, you will oversee 3 or 4 projects working very closely with the site managers to ensure they are well supported and able to do their jobs successfully. Some of your responsibilities will include:

  • Oversee the delivery detailed construction projects.
  • Fulfil the programme and quality requirements
  • Manage programme budgets and deadlines
  • Organise and motivate the construction team and ensure effective supply chain delivery
  • Ensure health and safety is taken seriously and employed on all sites
  • Checking finished developments to see they are snagged correctly
  • Dealing with Customer Care issues in a professional and timely manor

 

The Candidate

As this is a fairly new region the company are looking to break into, then they are looking for somebody with housebuilding experience and who knows the North West patch. They are very keen to give responsibility to this person, and as such require a mature and professional working style.

You’ll also need to be open to new ideas and ways of working. My client is very progressive in the way they work and are constantly looking to improve their processes and procedures, so it helps if you don’t fear change.

Due to expansive nature of the patch to begin with, it will really help if you have experience working autonomously and able to manage your own diary.
