Contracts Manager

A leading civil engineering and groundworks contractor is seeking an experienced Contracts Manager to oversee a portfolio of projects across the West of Scotland. With a healthy pipeline of secured work and further schemes in tender, this is an opportunity to join a progressive business that’s continuing to expand its regional presence.

You’ll take ownership of several live projects, ensuring delivery to the highest standards of safety, quality, and programme. Alongside managing ongoing operations, you’ll support preconstruction and tendering activity for upcoming works — playing a key part in shaping future projects and client relationships across the region.

Your key responsibilities will include;

Manage multiple project teams from mobilisation through to completion.
Oversee all operational, financial, and commercial aspects of assigned schemes.
Contribute to tender reviews, methodologies, and buildability input.
Lead client and stakeholder engagement, maintaining strong relationships.
Promote a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement.

To apply, you should have a proven track record as a Contracts Manager or Senior Project Manager within a broad range of civil engineering infrastructure or groundworks.

You'll need to be commercially astute, technically capable, and confident overseeing multiple sites, with strong leadership skills (a real focus on collaboration and team development).

Client relationships are important here, so you'll need to be able to build strong relationships and have excellent communication skills.

Reporting to a regional director, you'll have autonomy to manage regional operations and influence future growth, with long-term prospects within a stable and recognised civil engineering business.

If you’re ready for a fresh challenge with a contractor that values professionalism, progression, and delivery excellence, then I'd like to hear from you.

Apply in confidence or contact me for a discreet discussion.
