Contracts Director

I am recruiting for an established, highly respected, privately-owned construction business headquartered in Greater Manchester and delivering contracts across the UK. It is a real hybrid role – we are looking for someone with really strong contractual and commercial expertise (mainly JCT & NEC), but equally comfortable on site and working with the office-based Commercial Director.

• Collaborate with Board Directors, Contracts Managers, Project Managers, and the Commercial and Estimating teams to drive performance
• Champion health & safety, ensuring compliance and continuous improvement
• Maintain existing and build strong client relationships with new, potential clients
• Work closely with the Managing Director to develop commercial and business strategy

What You’ll Bring:

• 10+ years in contract or senior construction management
• A clear track record of delivery of profitable, successful projects and business growth
• A professional, construction qualification (RICS, CIOB, ICE or equivalent)

• Proven leadership, negotiation & stakeholder management skills
