Overview
An established construction contractor is seeking a Contracts Manager with strong on‑site experience to oversee refurbishment and heritage projects ranging from £200k to £2m.

- Handle day‑to‑day commercial duties, but with a balanced workload (not a commercially heavy role).

- Maintain accurate project documentation and reporting.
- Maintain a strong on‑site presence, ensuring quality, compliance, and client satisfaction.
- Coordinate subcontractors and site teams.
