Job Description

Operations & Contracts Manager
Salary dependent on skills and experience
Full time
Belfast
Our client, Alan Kingsberry Garden Services are looking for an experienced Operations & Contracts Manager Who Can Lead with Authority & Deliver Excellence.
Let’s start with the most important thing: this role is not for beginners, career progressors, or candidates looking for a promotion.
If you don’t already have a proven track record managing landscaping teams, overseeing maintenance contracts, and handling client relationships with professionalism and confidence - this won’t be the role for you.
But if you have built your reputation on:
  * Keeping clients loyal and satisfied
  * Delivering projects with consistency and precision
  * Leading teams who respect your standards
  * Running contracts without needing to be chased or corrected
…then you’ll understand immediately why this opportunity is rare and why it should have your full attention.
This isn’t an “opportunity to step up.”
This is a role for someone who’s already operating at a high level and wants a business that recognises it, values it, and gives them room to influence growth.
About Alan Kingsberry Garden Services
For years, we’ve delivered trusted, high-quality horticultural maintenance and garden transformations across the region. With over 120 active clients and more being added, our reputation is built on reliability, long-term relationships, and meticulous standards.
We’re now looking for an experienced Operations & Contracts Manager to oversee our maintenance portfolio, nurture client relationships, lead our team, and support in the growth of our design-and-build division.
This role is central to the business and the successful candidate will become Alan’s key person.
The Role
As an Operations & Contracts Manager, you will take ownership of:
  * Client relationships across 120+ maintenance contracts
  * Team leadership and managing, developing, and performance-monitoring staff
  * Operational plan the routes, schedules, and resources
  * Quality control and ensure every visit reflects AKGS standards
  * Commercial awareness of contract performance, client retention, and efficiencies
  * Support on major design & build projects from planning to sign-off
You’ll be the main point of contact for clients and the steady hand that keeps the operation running with confidence and clarity.
Who You Are
  * You are someone colleagues look up to.
  * Clients trust you.
  * Management relies on you.
You have:
  * A proven history managing horticultural or landscaping contracts
  * Strong leadership skills and the respect of your teams
  * Excellent communication and client-handling abilities
  * Experience coordinating routes, schedules, and maintenance operations
  * Pride in quality, detail, and professional standards
  * Ambition to grow as the company grows
This is not a role for someone “finding their feet.”
It’s for the person whose feet are already firmly on the ground.
What’s On Offer
  * Competitive salary with room for growth
  * Company vehicle & fuel
  * Professional development and leadership support
  * Long-term stability in a respected local business
  * A role where your voice matters, and your experience is valued
  * The chance to help shape the direction of a growing company
We have never recruited this position before, so we want the right person to join and stay.
Final Word
If you have the experience, the track record, and the leadership qualities to run contracts with confidence, this is the role where you’ll be recognised for it, not overlooked.
But we’re only interested in speaking with proven professionals.
If that’s you, apply with your CV and a short introduction.
