Borne Resourcing Limited
Contracts Manager (managing 2 projects) High-End / Prime Residential
SW London
Permanent Position 3 days in the office / 2 days WFH
Salary Negotiable Start Sep / Oct 2024
Exciting opportunity for an ambitious and driven Contracts Manager, with experience in the London residential super-prime market. Genuine opportunity for progression to Construction Director.
The company:
This well-financed contractor has a healthy client list of HNWI and a busy order book for 2025.
There is an immediate position for someone to work 3 days in the office / 2 days from home.
The business has circa 70 workers on site, with under 10 people based in the office. 8-10 projects at any one time, which are a mixture of basements, ground works, new builds to full house refurbs and fit-outs. Not your traditional construction contractor – not obsessed with hierarchy. Performance and awarding recognition. Forward thinking.
The Projects Manager:
Will generally have responsibility for 2 sites, sometimes 3, from contract award to handover. The role will involve managing the client, architect, engineer, designer etc. timelines, budget, materials for specified projects. Very much an office-based role.
The ideal person would be able to price (not full tender) parts of a tender, and who has some structural experience (basements would be good).
Skills:
Progress reports. RFI. IRS and Contract programme. CDP. Notices of Delay. Managing relationships with Contract Administrator and Client design team.
Key attributes:
Attention to detail. Not making mistakes (during conversations with clients or third parties or phone calls / emails.)
Responsiveness – dealing with client directly. If a query arises, respond as soon as you can – don’t leave them hanging.
Ability to work swiftly (price up a variation) – one to 2 hours work, not one to 2 days work. Don’t labour a straight forward task.
Work ethic – Work hard – get rewarded.
Commercial common sense; PM proposing to use a foreman on site, value engineering. Break it down, is it worth it, why? If not, suggestions
Well-rounded, responsive and detailed.
