Contracts Manager - Manchester - Local Authority Office Refurbishment Framework

I'm working with a Manchester-based contractor delivering a long-term framework of local authority office refurbishments, primarily focused on security upgrades and associated works across multiple sites.

They're looking for a Contracts Manager to oversee multiple projects running at any one time. This is a predominantly office-based role, where you will report directly into the Operations Manager and be supported by a Project Administrator/Coordinator.

Role Overview:

• Oversee a rolling programme of refurbishment and security upgrade projects across a local authority framework.
• Manage project documentation, programming, tracking, delivery planning, and compliance.
• Work closely with the Operations Manager and internal support teams to ensure smooth project delivery.
• Liaise with site managers and subcontract teams to monitor progress, resolve issues, and keep projects on track.
• Occasional site visits as required, though this is not a site-based role.

Candidate Requirements:

• Strong background in Contracts Management within refurbishment, fit-out, or maintenance frameworks.

Experience working on local authority or public sector projects is highly advantageous
