EXPERIENCE WORKING ON CAPITAL PROJECTS
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Electrically Biased Contracts Manager to join a leading organisation delivering critical capital projects within secure environments across the UK. This permanent, full-time role involves managing the full lifecycle of electrical and M&E works on HM Prison Service sites, with UK-wide travel and a primary base to be determined.
The successful candidate will play a key role in overseeing the mobilisation, delivery, and handover of complex capital projects, ensuring compliance with BS7671 regulations, adherence to site-specific security protocols, and alignment with CDM requirements. This position demands a strong electrical background, exceptional contract management skills, and the ability to operate within highly secure and regulated environments.
Acting as the primary point of contact for prison estates teams and government stakeholders, the Contracts Manager will be responsible for leading in-house engineers and managing subcontractor performance to ensure high-quality delivery. They will oversee project programmes, adjust resource plans in response to evolving site conditions, and work closely with the commercial team to support cost control, valuations, and variation management.
The role also includes reviewing technical specifications and drawings, conducting quality audits, and maintaining robust site safety procedures. Candidates must hold NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation and the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, along with either SMSTS or SSSTS certification. Prior experience managing electrical projects particularly within secure or government environments is preferred, with a strong understanding of CDM regulations, RAMS preparation, and general health and safety compliance.
Familiarity with capital projects including MoJ operational protocols, as well as infrastructure such as lighting, power, CCTV, and access control, is highly desirable. Candidates with estimating or design experience, First Aid at Work certification, or existing clearance (Enhanced DBS or CTC) will have a distinct advantage.
