The business currently turns over in excess of £150 million per annum, and has a reputation for a modern and quality-focused approach.

Having met the directors of the business, I can confidently say this groundwork contractor is looking to stand out from their competition, harnessing innovation, a fresh brand image, and a focus on being the best at what they do. I have heard this not only from people who work at this company, but also from people who work for several of the main competitors! About the Role: We have been asked to find a Senior Contracts Manager who has a proven background working for residential groundwork subcontractors. Usual packages include foundations and externals for residential plots across the Home Counties, so suitable candidates must come from this world. The role will report directly to the Operations Director of this division, and you ll be responsible for overseeing several live sites while helping plan at the preconstruction phases for new sites. Your role will be to help support the on-site management, with maintaining programme requirements, while also controlling costs.

I would also like to add, further career progression is available for those who stand out. If you have aspirations of progressing into a Construction Director role, this company can provide the platform for you to earn that chance. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector, and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete. Alternatively, it would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway (including who the employer is), but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option.
