Contracts Manager – Manchester – Local Authority Office Refurbishment Framework

I'm working with a Manchester-based contractor delivering a long-term framework of local authority office refurbishments, primarily focused on security upgrades and associated works across multiple sites.

They're looking for a Contracts Manager to oversee multiple projects running at any one time. This is a predominantly office-based role, where you will report directly into the Operations Manager and be supported by a Project Administrator/Coordinator.

Role Overview:

Oversee a rolling programme of refurbishment and security upgrade projects across a local authority framework.
Manage project documentation, programming, tracking, delivery planning, and compliance.
Work closely with the Operations Manager and internal support teams to ensure smooth project delivery.
Liaise with site managers and subcontract teams to monitor progress, resolve issues, and keep projects on track.
Occasional site visits as required, though this is not a site-based role.Candidate Requirements:

Strong background in Contracts Management within refurbishment, fit-out, or maintenance frameworks.Experience working on local authority or public sector projects is highly advantageous
