Contracts Manager

Refurbishment | NHS Education Commercial Projects

About the Client

Our client is a well‑established, respected regional contractor with a strong footprint across Greater Manchester and the wider North West. With decades of experience delivering high‑quality refurbishment and fit‑out projects, they have built an excellent reputation for working collaboratively with clients in occupied, live environments.

The business operates across NHS healthcare estates, education facilities and commercial buildings, delivering projects that demand precision, sensitivity and robust stakeholder management. Known for their hands‑on leadership, long‑serving staff and repeat client base, this contractor offers the stability of a seasoned regional business combined with the autonomy and influence that larger national firms often cannot match.

With a healthy pipeline of secured work in the Manchester region, they are now looking to strengthen their senior delivery team with an experienced Contracts Manager.

The Role

This is a key leadership position overseeing multiple refurbishment schemes across the region. You will take responsibility from pre‑construction through to final handover, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest standards, often within live NHS and education environments.

You’ll act as the primary point of contact for clients and consultants, leading site teams and maintaining the contractor’s reputation for professionalism and reliability.

Key Responsibilities

  * Overall contractual, operational and commercial responsibility for refurbishment projects

  * Managing Site Managers, subcontractors and supply chain partners

  * Close liaison with NHS Trusts, education stakeholders and commercial clients

  * Programming, cost control, variations and risk management

  * Ensuring compliance with NHS HTM/HBN guidance where applicable

  * Driving health & safety, quality standards and project governance

  * Chairing progress meetings and providing clear client reporting

  * Overseeing successful handovers and final accounts

About You

  * Proven experience as a Contracts Manager within refurbishment projects

  * Background working in NHS, education or occupied commercial environments

  * Strong technical, contractual and commercial knowledge

  * Confident, professional communicator with excellent client‑facing skills

  * Organised, proactive and solutions‑focused

  * SMSTS, CSCS and relevant construction qualifications preferred

Why This Opportunity?

  * Join a stable, regional contractor with an outstanding local reputation

  * Long‑term secure workload across the Manchester region

  * Varied, meaningful projects that positively impact communities

  * A collaborative culture with direct access to senior decision‑makers

  * Competitive salary, car allowance and comprehensive benefits
