A renowned 5* house builder are looking for a Contracts Manager to join their business in the North West – and if you’re genuinely interested in improving your skillset as a Contracts Manager thus giving you the tools to progress your career then this could be the ideal place for you to learn.
The skills we’re talking here are at the front end of the house-building process, getting much more involved in the pre-planning of the site. I don’t know how many Contracts Managers I speak to who are scratching their head at why I certain decision was made by Commercial or Technical - if you join here as Contracts Manager you’ll have that input – no more scratchy head. That’ll include working with the design teams, liaising with the land department, having a handle on the cost processes involved, the technical elements that need to be signed off before certain stages of your site move forward. Now that will be on top of your usual day-to-day running of a volume housebuild site so this isn’t a role for the faint-hearted – as the Director told me ‘they need to be passionate, wanting to learn and to be the best. I want someone who wants to take my job one day’.
You’ll still be running around 300 units a year over 6-7 sites but with your input from the beginning a lot of the usual issues you’d have on site should be a lot less problematic.
If you’re dedicated to improving, to the work that’s involved, and genuinely do want to ‘be the best’ then please get in touch with me and I’ll run through the finer details.
Summary:
* Contracts Manager required for 5* North West based housebuilder.
* Ideally, they are looking for someone with around 5 years’ experience although happy to discuss with a minimum of 2.
* The preferred candidate will have had experience of running 5-6 sites at any one time taking (Apply online only) units over a year.
* Working alongside a Director who has a history of working in award winning businesses – both volume and bespoke.
* The client is looking to interview candidates quickly with a view to starting when suitable for both.
I am the Director of Herrera Homes, my name is John Kirkham, and I am acting on behalf of the client so if you want to contact me directly please get in touch with me on the usual channels via my direct dial, mobile number or emailing me at work. What are you waiting for? Get in touch NOW
