Contracts Manager (South West Region)

Location:
Somerset

Sector:
Residential & Mixed-Use Construction (Housing & Contracting)

Salary:
£70,000 – £80,000 + Car Allowance + Excellent Benefits

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to join a reputable and growing regional contractor with a strong pipeline of residential and mixed-use developments across the South West.

As a Contracts Manager, you'll take ownership of 3–4 live sites, managing delivery teams from pre-construction through to completion. You'll play a hands-on role overseeing quality, safety, and commercial performance — ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standards.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced contracting environment and enjoys the balance of site leadership and strategic oversight.

Role Overview

As a Contracts Manager, you will:

  • Oversee multiple housing and refurbishment projects across the South West.
  • Manage project programmes, ensuring consistent delivery and build quality.
  • Lead and support Site Managers and project delivery teams.
  • Conduct regular site visits, ensuring compliance, safety, and performance.
  • Manage contract administration, aftercare, and client communication.
  • Report weekly to the Operations Director with updates on progress, risks, and priorities.
  • Drive operational excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement.

About You

  • Proven background working for a main contractor — not Tier 1.
  • Experience managing multiple residential or mixed-use schemes.
  • Demonstrated longevity and loyalty in previous roles.
  • Excellent knowledge of commercial, contractual, and operational project delivery.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to mentor teams.
  • Full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel across sites (Somerton, Weston, Blandford).

Company Profile

Our client is a well-established regional contractor known for their commitment to quality, sustainability, and people development. They deliver a wide range of projects across housing, regeneration, and community sectors, creating places where people thrive.

Their culture is professional yet down-to-earth — a business that values loyalty, collaboration, and doing things the right way.

What's in it for you?

  • Competitive salary (£70k–£80k) + car allowance
  • 26 days annual leave (rising with service) + birthday off
  • Medical cash plan & Employee Assistance Programme
  • Life insurance
  • Professional membership fees paid
  • Training & career development opportunities
