ABOUT THE COMPANY
With a head office based in Surrey (the position will be to cover West London, North West London and East London) this RC frame & groundwork specialist currently turns over around £140 million per annum as a total across their main RC frameworks, groundworks and their special works division with individual packages ranging from £5m up to £50m each. This company is privately owned with an MD that remains hands-on, making sure standards are maintained in line with the superb reputation they hold. The company has a strong team, with every member of the management structure working together towards common goals. The senior team quite often refer to the business as a well-oiled machine, where each cog has a vital part to play. They are proud of their ability to secure a lot of their work through repeat business. Clients prefer to come back to them to negotiate future projects rather than the business having to win work at open tender stages with aggressive pricing strategies.
As a Contracts Manager within this team, your role will focus on pre-contract and post-contract activities, taking projects once they are secured and managing a selection of sites through to completion. Good management and operational skills need to be shown along with the technical knowledge gained from an engineering background and again a strong amount of experience in this role with a rival business. You will report directly to the Construction Director of the business and the MD.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Due to increased work levels, I have been asked to find a Contracts Manager for this business to add additional support to the management structure. Currently, this business is turning over around £140 million per annum and with a large proportion of work in West London, North West London, and the East London areas. They need to recruit an additional contracts manager to help support this workload. It is crucial that suitable applicants have experience working for rival concrete frame and groundwork subcontractors/principle contractors to be considered. I want to add that this business is still growing year on year, and its reputation is that of a leading player in this market (i.e. top 10 concrete frame subcontractors in the UK).
REWARDS AND BENEFITS
Packages are always based on individual’s backgrounds and experience but as a rough guide, I have been told to target people earning anywhere from £120,000 to £130,000 per annum. This can be broken down in a number of ways and this business is open to people on a PAYE or self-employed basis. Bonuses are paid twice a year and are based on performance KPI targets on a quarterly basis as well as all the usual fringe benefits.
REQUIREMENTS
I am looking for an individual who is degree qualified in civil engineering and has already progressed through the ranks up through project management to an existing contracts management level. You may be recently stepped up to this level or may have been doing it for a number of years, but it is crucial you have come from this sector background and have gained this technical management experience while working in the subcontract concrete frame and groundwork market.

From Quantity Surveyors to Site Managers to Civil Engineers, we work to the same objective of helping to enhance their careers.
And our relationships don’t end on day one of a new role – we pride ourselves on our ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and construction professionals. And we are fortunate enough to work with many leading construction companies and professionals in London and throughout the rest of the UK.

Commercial Director,
Main Contractor
I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.
Operations Director,
Platt and Reilly Ltd
The Cityscape Recruitment team has always been great to deal with. Always ready to listen to our needs and requirements, a quality some recruiters do not appreciate or have, then advising where they can assist in our staff procurement. We look forward to working with Laura and Cityscape in the coming years.

When you first contact us, be that through direct contact, responding to an advert or applying through our website, we will connect you with a consultant who works in your specialist area.
Initially, they will arrange a meeting to talk through your CV and career history. They will encourage you to go into detail about your background and experiences, capabilities and responsibilities, personal circumstances and any other factors they feel are relevant to help them build up a well-rounded profile of you.
We take extraordinary care in matching professionals to an opportunity – one that will help enhance their careers and a clients’ team. We therefore also use this meeting to empower you in your career. Using our extensive knowledge of the construction industry, we would provide in-depth overviews of businesses, projects and available roles, and guidance on where your strengths will add the most value and career potential.
After this meeting, the consultant will speak to a number of their clients about you and your CV. Who they speak to can be either jointly agreed upon or you can trust the judgement and expertise of the consultant to contact clients they feel are the best fit for your experience and goals.
If any clients are interested in meeting with you, the consultant will manage the interview process, coaching you before any interviews if required. (Further guidance can be found here.)
If you are successful in receiving an offer(s), our consultant will communicate this with you and help to negotiate the offer(s) and any other terms of employment.
Finally, we will support you in resigning from your current role, navigating potential counter offers and starting your new role.
