Parkinson Gray Associates are the leading recruitment business working in the Yorkshire region. We have been engaged by our Client to assist them with the recruitment of an experienced Electrical Contract Manager. This Client is one of the longest-standing MEP Contractors working in the region today. With a wealth of experience and an enviable order book, they work mainly on pre-designed projects in the local area. Schemes will typically be up to circa £200K but on occasions will be worth as much as £1.5M. Commercial, industrial and retail fit-out works are their main focus. They work both with major main builders as well as with key end-user Clients on framework agreements. We are looking for a key member of staff to join their project management team. With just a handful of Contract Managers making up their technical delivery team, this role is pivotal to the ongoing success of the business. You will be involved in projects from inception and see them all the way through to completion. Office-based but with frequent site visits, you will usually have several projects live at any one time. This is a medium-sized MEP contractor rather than one of the larger, multi-location, contractors. As such we are looking for an experienced Electrical Contract Manager who has solid experience in delivering projects but who is also able to turn their hand to pre-construction as the needs of the business dictate. The ideal candidate will have produced tenders in the past, using estimation software. This is a great opportunity to join a small but dedicated team. They have outstanding staff retention rates too - always a good indication of the culture of a business. Working mainly on local projects, there is limited need to travel so it will be rare that you will need to stay away from home; another great advantage of this role. If you are a seasoned Electrical Contact Manager and are looking for a stable business with a long history of working in the Yorkshire building services sector look no further. We want to hear from you. Either apply here and I will get in touch or call me (Darren Gray) for a chat in total confidence. You can find my number on our website.
