Trainee Contract Manager

Trainee Contract Manager / Twickenham, Office Based / £23,000 to £25,000 D.O.E.

Are you looking for a clear career path rather than "just a job"? We are seeking a motivated Trainee Contract Manager to join our busy operations team.

This isn't just an admin role; it is the first step toward becoming a fully-fledged Contract Manager. Working directly under our Operations Manager, you will learn the ropes of high-end property maintenance, from logistics and client liaison to project delivery.

With a 20-year track record of excellence, SPA Ltd is a leading commercial maintenance partner for some of the biggest names in UK property management, including Colliers, JLL, and Workman. We specialise in keeping large-scale commercial buildings, retail centres, and industrial sites running smoothly through reactive and planned maintenance.

You will be the vital link between our clients, our site teams, and our subcontractors. Key duties include:

• Updating client portals and our internal job management system (Sim Pro) with real‑time updates.
• Liaising with Contract Managers and subcontractors to schedule works and organise quotes.
• Keeping our high‑profile property management clients informed on job progress and delivery.
• Ordering materials and ensuring site teams have what they need to get the job done.
• Finalising job reports for clients and assisting the accounts team with billing queries.

We provide full training, so while maintenance experience is a bonus, the right attitude is what matters most. We’re looking for:

• You can juggle multiple tasks without dropping the ball.
• You’re comfortable picking up the phone to talk to clients and contractors alike.
• You’re quick to learn new systems (experience with Sim Pro is a plus, but not essential).
• You want to progress. Our goal is to see you move into a full Contract Manager role within 18 to 24 months.

• On top of a competitive salary of £23,000 to £25,000, we offer a monthly profit share and annual bonus.
• 8:00 am to 4:00 pm or 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
• Company Pension
• 20 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
• Join a stable, successful company with a 20-year history and blue‑chip clients.
• We invest in our people. You will have a clear mentor and a path to promotion from day one.
• Full 18–24 month structured roadmap to Full Contract Manager
