Contracts Manager

Contracts Manager Cat A / Cat B Office Fit Out (D&B) Intermediate or Experienced level | North of London If you can run a live, occupied building without: • upsetting the client • upsetting security • upsetting the CEO who “just popped in” …you might enjoy this. A well-run, family-owned D&B fit-out contractor is looking for a Contracts Manager to add to the team. They’re open on level: solid intermediate PM ready to step up (a £65,000 - £75,000 + package type), or a seasoned operator (£85,000 – £90,000 + package type) who knows that programmes are meant to be followed, not framed.  The work: Cat A / Cat B office fit-outs (£500k–£2m) 2–3 projects at a time (each with a full-time Site Manager) Mostly occupied buildings in the City No new build. No mega towers. No “we’ll figure it out as we go”.  What you’ll actually do: Be the adult in the room Run the programme (Microsoft Project - built properly from estimating) Manage clients, architects, consultants and PQS without losing patience Drive D&B design approvals and contractor processes Keep sites safe, sequenced and moving forward Let the QS handle the spreadsheets while you run the job Why this one’s decent: 90% repeat clients (the good ones who pay and come back) Discreet but very impressive client base (NDA territory) Subbies treated like part of the team - not disposable Usually 2–3 trusted subs per trade Proactive management, zero micromanaging You set your own diary Working pattern: 1 day WFH (nice) 1 day in the office (nr Stanstead Abbotts) 3 days on site (Home Counties or London) Northern M25 patch (M1 / M40 friendly) Proper projects. Serious clients. Minimal nonsense. If you know Cat A / B, understand D&B, and believe jobs should run in the right order – perhaps we could have a discreet conversation.
