Contracts Manager - Fire, Safety and Emergency Systems
Location: Coventry
Department: Projects Delivery
Package: Competitive Salary and benefits
Lead with Integrity. Deliver with Excellence. Build What Protects Lives.
We are a respected life-safety solutions provider, trusted by clients across the UK for delivering critical fire and emergency-systems projects with absolute compliance and care.
We are now seeking a Projects Delivery & Contracts Manager to lead our Projects Delivery Team and ensure every system we install is safe, compliant and completed to the highest standards — with a robust audit trail from concept to commissioning.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who combines technical excellence, emotional intelligence, and a passion for high-standards in a regulated, mission-critical environment.
If you see process, governance and compliance not as bureaucracy, but as the backbone of life-safety excellence, we want to speak with you.
Your Purpose
Lead and develop a high-performing delivery team, ensuring multiple fire-life-safety projects are delivered safely, compliantly, and profitably, following a proven stage-gate methodology.
You’ll bring people together — internal teams, suppliers, subcontractors and clients — to deliver projects that pass every audit, earn client trust, and protect life and property.
What You’ll Lead
- Daily project delivery cadence & contractor coordination
- Stage-gate control from pre-construction to handover and aftercare
- Testing, commissioning & technical compliance against BS 5839 and BAFE requirements
- Client, consultant & stakeholder engagement
- Health & Safety leadership, CDM compliance & site audits
- Commercial control, forecasting, variations & final accounts
- Coaching & developing project managers, supervisors & commissioning staff.
- You will be the glue that connects planning to execution, and strategy to safe-in-service systems.
- You'll be hungry for success and want to develop your career.
What Good Looks Like
- Zero-harm safety culture & robust CDM controls
- Fully evidenced, auditable project records
- On-time delivery with controlled variations
- Strong client relationships & repeat business
- Empowered, engaged project teams who grow under your leadership
Who You Are
- You bring both competence and character. You are:
- Calm under pressure; a clear thinker in complexity
- Detail-focused and compliance-driven
- A confident communicator — from site to boardroom
- Emotionally intelligent, collaborative and trusted
- Proactive, structured and solutions-focused
- Resilient, adaptable and committed to continuous improvement
- Grounded, self-aware and integrity-led — always doing what’s right
- You don’t wait to be told — you anticipate, plan, communicate and execute
Requirements
- 5+ years’ experience delivering building-services / M&E / life-safety projects
- Strong understanding of BS 5839-1 and industry standards
- Experience commissioning and delivering fire-safety systems
- Familiarity with BAFE SP203-1 / LPS 1014 frameworks (advantageous)
- Competent in Microsoft 365, planning tools and evidence management
- Full UK Driving Licence
- Desirable: SMSTS/SSSTS, IOSH/NEBOSH, CSCS Manager/Professional, Building Safety Act understanding
Benefits
- Holidays: 21 days plus 8 bank - additional for birthday
- Recognised and valued employee - not just a number
- Package: Competitive Salary
This is a rare opportunity to step into a role with genuine responsibility, trust and influence, in an organisation where compliance, excellence and people leadership truly matter.
