Construction Contracts Manager

Our client, a well-established property services business operating across the Milton Keynes area, is looking for an experienced Construction Contracts Manager to take ownership of minor construction projects across their portfolio, with a particular focus on fire risk assessment remedials and minor works.

Based in Milton Keynes, this role will suit someone who is equally comfortable in an office environment and on site, and who can manage the full project lifecycle, from contract preparation through to delivery, without losing sight of quality, compliance, or cost.

The Role

You'll be responsible for planning, coordinating and supervising minor construction works, managing direct trades and subcontractors, and ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget and to the required standard. Day-to-day this will include contract and budget management, stakeholder communication, risk identification, quality assurance and reporting to senior management and clients.

What We're Looking For

Strong track-record of experience in construction project management, with a focus on minor works
Proven contract and budget management experience
Solid understanding of construction methodologies, materials and legal requirements
Strong communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
Proficiency in project management software
Valid CSCS Card (or qualifications to obtain one) and full UK driving licence
Enhanced DBS (can be provided if not already held)
A degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering or a related discipline would be advantageous, as would professional certification (PMP, CCM or CIOB). FIRAS or BM Trada accreditation is desirable — training will be provided for the right candidate.

Location

Milton Keynes based, with candidates considered from Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire or Cambridgeshire.

£55,000 – £65,000 depending on experience
Car allowance
20 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays, rising by one day per year of service to a maximum of 25
