Job Description
Excellent opportunity for an experienced Small Works Manager (Electrical) to join a well-established company based in Coulsdon
Salary: £55,000 - £65,000 + package
Job Type: Full Time / Permanent
Benefits: Company car or allowance, pension, private medical and more.
The Company
They are a small but growing electrical contractor based in Coulsdon. They work across two sides of the industry: electrical testing, inspection and compliance for high-profile, security-sensitive sites, and installation and fit-out projects for main contractors and end clients.
They are looking for a Small Works Manager to take on the smaller end of their projects work - packages up to around £50,000 - from first enquiry through to sign-off.
The Role
You will attend site, work out what is needed, price it, and then make sure it gets delivered on time and on budget. It is varied and fast-moving: some days you will be quoting, others you will be out on site keeping three or four jobs moving at once.
- Site visits and surveys, often at short notice
- Pricing and quoting works up to around £50,000
- Planning labour, materials and access, and booking works in with clients
- Managing several live jobs at once - engineers, subcontractors, deliveries and programme
- Protecting margin, including pricing and agreeing variations
- Being the main point of contact for your clients, from enquiry through to handover
A lot of their work is in occupied buildings, so the role involves some out-of-hours and weekend working. This is always paid as overtime on top of your salary.
What we are looking for
- Time-served electrician, City & Guilds or NVQ Level 3 qualified
- 18th Edition (C&G 2382) and ECS/JIB Gold Card
- Commercial electrical experience - offices, fit-out, banking, data centres or similar
- Able to price work from a site visit and a set of drawings
- Some experience of supervising, running or pricing your own jobs, even on a smaller scale
- Organised, able to juggle several jobs at once, and confident dealing with clients
- Full UK driving licence
Desirable: fit-out or refurbishment experience, SSSTS or SMSTS, experience on occupied or security-cleared sites, SimPro, IPAF/PASMA.
You do not need to have held a small works or contracts manager title before. If you have come off the tools, have run your own jobs, and want to build a role around yourself, we want to hear from you.
Benefits
- £55,000 - £65,000 depending on experience
- Company vehicle or car allowance
- Out-of-hours work paid as overtime
- Company pension
- Private medical insurance
- Medicash
- Phone, laptop and tablet
- Free on-site Parking
- Ongoing training and support with further qualifications
- Real autonomy on high-profile sites, and a clear route into a senior projects role as we grow
