    📍 Projects across Kent & Surrey
    • Up to £90,000 + Package

    • Start April 2026
      
     
    A financially robust principal contractor are looking for an experienced Contracts Manager to oversee multiple projects across Kent and Surrey. If you’re someone who enjoys running projects properly (rather than constantly putting out fires), this could be worth a look.
     
     
    You’ll be responsible for managing several sites at once, supporting site teams, keeping programmes on track, and making sure projects are delivered safely, on time, and within budget.
     
    The role:
    • Overseeing multiple construction projects across Kent & Surrey
    • Managing Site Managers and project teams
    • Monitoring programme, quality, and commercial performance
    • Maintaining strong relationships with clients and subcontractors
    • Ensuring health & safety standards are met across all sites
     
    What they’re looking for?
     
    • Proven experience as a Contracts Manager with a tier 2 principal contractor
    • Degree qualified in construction and / or MCIOB
    • Able to demonstrate a wide variety of project experience from £2m - £20m
    • Strong leadership and organisational skills
    • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
    • Solid understanding of programme management and delivery
     
     
    This is a great opportunity to join a growing contractor with a strong pipeline of work and a team that values getting the job done properly.
     
    If you’re a Contracts Manager who likes running projects smoothly (and enjoys the rare feeling of finishing one on programme), we’d love to hear from you.
