- Contracts Manager – Council Frameworks
£70,000–£80,000 + package
North London
Are you a Contracts Manager looking to take ownership of a long-term, high-value framework? This is a rare opportunity to lead a major partnership with a major Council, with full autonomy and a chance to lead from the front?
The Company
Our client is one of the fastest-growing social housing contractors in the UK. Known for delivering high-quality residential and education refurbishment projects, they are now the sole contractor appointed to deliver works across one of London’s largest frameworks.
With approx. £2–3 million of work per year – consisting of individual projects ranging from £10k to £500k – this is a prime opportunity to lead from the front and build something substantial.
The Opportunity
This is a partnering contract with a Local Council. You’ll be the dedicated Contracts Manager overseeing a wide range of structural, external, roofing and fabric repairs – managing live projects and shaping the future of the framework. With the right performance, you’ll have a direct path to step up into an Operations Manager role.
Key responsibilities

- Overseeing multiple external and structural refurbishment schemes across the Borough
- Managing delivery teams, commercial input and supply chain performance

- FRA works – including communal fire doors, loft partitions and fire stopping
- Roofing – both pitched and flat systems
- Liquid waterproofing (balconies/walkways)
- Balcony balustrade replacements
- Landscaping and cast iron RWG replacements
- External decorations and general fabric repairs
- Strong background in external/social housing refurbishment, ideally on occupied properties
- Proven experience managing multiple projects/contracts (£10k–£500k) within a framework model
- Able to build trusted relationships with clients and lead from the front
- Minimum 5 years’ experience at Contracts Manager level, ideally for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 contractor
- SMSTS
- CSCS (Black or Academically Qualified White Card)
- First Aid at Work
- NVQ Level 6 or 7 in Construction Management (or equivalent)
- Asbestos Awareness
- MS Projects trained (preferred)
- CIOB membership (desirable but not essential)
- 1 day in our office
- 1 day per week in the Local Borough office (partnering model)
- The rest of the time on-site
