Mainstay Recruitment are recruiting for an opportunity for a motivated Small Works Manager to join our Billable Works team, leading the delivery of damp and mould programmes, minor works (including kitchens and bathrooms), and full internal refurbishments. This role is perfect for an ambitious individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in delivering high-quality, compliant, and customer-focused projects.
About the Role
As Small Works Manager, you will take full responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of low-value, high-volume works across a wide geographic area. You will coordinate and manage suppliers and contractors to ensure multiple programmes are delivered safely, on time, and within budget.
You will lead procurement activities in line with organisational policies, UK legislation, and EU regulations—creating briefs, specifications, tender documents, and procurement plans, and managing projects from initiation through to completion. Strong financial control will be essential, as you monitor monthly spend, ensure value for money, and maintain robust contract and performance management.
Compliance and safety are central to the role. You will ensure full adherence to relevant Health & Safety legislation, including CDM Regulations and the Control of Asbestos Regulations, while proactively managing risk and ensuring contractors are properly briefed and supervised.
Building and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships is key. You will play a crucial role in supporting Armed Forces families by ensuring their accommodation is maintained to the highest standard. Through close collaboration with service families, the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), supply chain partners, and internal teams, you will provide clear communication from initial scoping to post-completion handover.
