Electrical Contract Manager
£70,000-£80,000 + Package
Essex
Multi Disciplinary M&E Contractor
Outline of Opportunity
We are looking for a commercially astute Contract Manager to take the reins of a newly won, high‑profile, flagship contract carrying out electrical and active fire works. This isn’t a role for someone looking to steady the ship – it’s for a leader who wants to drive it.
The contract is secure and performing well, but we need a specialist who can identify the marginal gains, unlock hidden commercial value, and treat this £4m per annum account as if it were their own business. This is a “make your mark” position. You are inheriting a stable foundation with the total autonomy to optimise, innovate, and lead a flagship account within a market‑leading organization.

As an Electrical Contract Manager, you will have full operational and commercial responsibility for the performance and profitability of the contract.

- Managing subcontractors and supply chain relationships
- Building and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships

About You
- Proven background in Active Fire systems (essential)
- Strong working knowledge of fire alarm, sprinkler, and fire suppression systems
- Previous experience in a Contract Manager, Senior Operations Manager, or similar role
- Commercially aware with experience managing budgets and margin performance
- Confident communicator who can manage expectations and hold their ground
- Practical, solutions‑focused, and comfortable in a fast‑paced environment
