This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Contracts Manager to join a long-established regional contractor with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality construction projects up to £2m across the South West.

You’ll take the lead on a range of refurbishment, fit‑out, and small new‑build schemes, managing multiple projects simultaneously and ensuring each is delivered safely, profitably, and to the highest standards.

• Overseeing multiple live projects across Gloucestershire and surrounding areas.
• Managing programmes, budgets, and resources to ensure delivery on time and within cost.

We’re looking for:

• Background in general works, fit‑out, or small works projects up to £2m.
• Excellent commercial awareness and a proactive approach to project delivery.
• Strong organisational and leadership skills with the ability to manage several jobs at once.
• Excellent communication and client‑facing ability.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to multiple sites locally.

Our client is a trusted, well‑established regional contractor delivering a wide range of construction and refurbishment projects across the South West. Their success is built on long‑standing client relationships, repeat business, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship.

You’ll be joining a business that values teamwork, professionalism, and personal development — offering a supportive environment where hard work and loyalty are recognised and rewarded.
