Contracts Manager - Drylining

Pantheon Recruitment Ltd
Manchester, ENG, GB Full Time

Job Description

Looking for a role where you're trusted to just get on with it? I'm working with a well-established drylining contractor turning over around £5m who have built a solid reputation across the North West, delivering both commercial and residential projects. They're now looking for an experienced Contracts Manager who enjoys variety. This isn't a role where you'll only be looking after one flagship project for two years – you'll oversee a mixture of larger contracts alongside smaller, fast-paced jobs, giving you genuine variety and autonomy. The business has a strong pipeline of repeat work, a down-to-earth leadership team and a culture where people are left to manage their projects rather than being micromanaged. The role: * Managing multiple drylining and ceiling projects across Greater Manchester and the surrounding region. * Working across commercial and residential schemes. * Overseeing Site Managers, programmes, client relationships and commercial performance. * Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time and to a high standard. What they're looking for: * Previous experience managing drylining and/or SFS projects. * Comfortable running several projects simultaneously. * Strong client-facing and organisational skills. * Someone who enjoys a hands-on, varied role. What's on offer: * Around £65,000 salary (or day rate equivalent if preferred). * Company package. * Stable workload with repeat clients. * Genuine autonomy. * Opportunity to join a growing contractor with plenty of room to make your mark. If you're looking for a business where your opinion matters and no two weeks look the same, I'd be happy to tell you more
