Contracts Managers: Ever run a refurbishment where the building knows more than the drawings?

Good. You’ll feel at home here.

A specialist refurbishment main contractor (Central London base) is looking for a Contracts Manager to deliver high-quality residential refurbishments (£200k–£2m) across London & the South East.

This is proper refurb work:
heritage quirks, live environments, scaffold up, finishes tight — and clients who notice the details.

The role (in reality):
• Running multiple live refurb sites
• Programming, progress & sequencing (not just tracking excuses)
• Managing subcontractors from start to finish
• JCT contracts, RFIs, variations — handled calmly
• Structural, façade, roofing & complex internals (MEP, fire, drylining, glazing)
• Owning quality, H&S (CDM 2015 / BSA 2023) and commercial performance

This suits someone who:
• Knows refurbishment isn’t new build with better stories
• Can lead site teams without micromanagement
• Is commercially sharp and client-credible
• Understands that shortcuts always come back
• Is comfortable at height and confident with London logistics

Why it’s worth a look:
• Specialist contractor — sticks to what they’re good at
• Blue-chip, repeat-client work
• Real ownership of projects
• No theatre. No hovering. Just delivery.

If you like refurbishment work where judgement matters and decisions stick, we can arrange a discreet chat.

You’ll own the M&E package from Stage 4 design through to handover — on projects where mistakes don’t hide.
 
If you know prime residential M&E is unforgiving… and secretly enjoy that fact, this will make sense.
 
A well-established main contractor is delivering a mix of low-rise prime residential new builds in North London and complex commercial schemes (including exhibition spaces) in Central West London and is looking for an experienced M&E Manager to take full ownership of M&E on site.
 
Not coordinate it.
Not chase spreadsheets.
Own it.
 
You’ll be taking projects currently at Stage 4 technical design and carrying them through delivery, commissioning and handover, with M&E packages ranging from £5m–£13m and programmes running through 2027.
 
Day to day, you’ll be:

- Leading the M&E package on site
- Managing subcontractors and coordinating services with finishes
- Controlling M&E submissions, approvals and technical sign-off
- Driving QA, commissioning and handover properly
- Reporting directly to the company’s M&E Lead (with real technical support)

 
This suits someone with a mechanical background and strong all-round M&E knowledge, who’s comfortable on residential / low-rise projects and used to running sizeable packages.
 
You don’t need a Tier 1 logo.
You do need a sharp eye, calm head, and low tolerance for shortcuts.
 
Procore experience is useful (training provided), but more important is knowing your M from your E and having delivered quality M&E on real projects.
 
If you enjoy solving problems that can’t be Googled, on jobs where “near enough” isn’t acceptable, this is your kind of role.
 
Curious? Always open to a discreet conversation.
