• Procuring materials, joinery and specialist items
• Placing purchase orders and managing deliveries to site
• Monitoring budgets in conjunction with commercial teams
• Managing snagging and ensuring clients are delighted at handover

Client & Stakeholder Management

• Acting as a key point of contact for clients and project stakeholders
• Building strong, long‑term relationships based on trust and delivery
• Representing the company professionally on site and in meetings

Health, Safety & Compliance

• Working within a robust H&S management system
• Ensuring all projects comply with health, safety and welfare requirements
• Promoting best practice across all sites

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Contracts Manager (or similar role) within fit‑out / interiors
• Strong organisational and coordination skills
• Commercially aware with good cost control skills
• Confident communicator who enjoys client-facing responsibilities
• Proactive, solutions‑focused and calm under pressure
• A professional who takes pride in quality, safety and delivery
