Leeds
£50,000 per annum
Company van provided
Winsearch UK is proud to partner with a growing industrial roofing and cladding contractor based in Leeds, for an experienced Contracts Manager to join the business.
My client delivers commercial and industrial roofing and cladding projects across the UK, including new build roof and wall cladding systems, refurbishment projects, maintenance contracts and reactive works. They have built a strong reputation for quality, safety and reliable project delivery, working across projects valued up to around £1m.
The role
This is a proper Contracts Manager role, not a step-up position.
My client is looking for someone who already has strong experience managing roofing and cladding contracts and can come in with the confidence, organisation and technical knowledge to take ownership of projects from the off.
You'll be managing multiple live projects, coordinating labour, materials, access, programme and client communication, while making sure work is delivered safely, on time and to the right standard.
Longer term, this role also offers the opportunity to continue developing within the business, with potential progression towards a director-level position for the right person.
What you'll be doing
Managing industrial roofing and cladding contracts from start to finish
Overseeing multiple live projects at any one time
Planning labour, materials, access and programme requirements
Managing site teams and subcontractors
Liaising with clients, main contractors and suppliers
Attending site meetings and progress meetings
Monitoring programme, quality, health and safety, and commercial performance
Identifying and resolving issues before they become bigger problems
Supporting project handovers, variations and close-out
Helping bring structure and consistency as the business continues to grow
What they're looking for
10+ years' experience within roofing, cladding or the wider building envelope sector
5+ years' experience in Contracts Management within the envelope sector
Strong background in industrial or commercial roofing and cladding
Experience managing multiple contracts at once
Good technical understanding of roofing and wall cladding systems
Strong client-facing and communication skills
Commercial awareness and the ability to manage programme, cost and quality
Confident managing site teams, subcontractors and suppliers
Someone who can work independently without needing heavy day-to-day support
The type of person who'll do well
This role will suit an experienced Contracts Manager who wants more ownership and long-term progression.
My client is not looking for someone junior who needs to be trained into the role. They need someone who already understands the pressures of managing multiple live roofing and cladding projects and can add value quickly.
You'll need to be practical, organised and confident dealing with clients and site teams. Just as importantly, you'll need to want to keep progressing, with the ambition to potentially move into a more senior/director-level role as the business grows.
What's on offer
£50,000 per annum
Company van provided
Permanent role with a growing specialist contractor
Opportunity to work across varied industrial and commercial roofing/cladding projects
Direct involvement with senior management
Long-term development route towards a more senior leadership position
