My client is a well-established and traditional family orientated building firm. They offer a fully comprehensive range of building services to both commercial and residential customers.

From repairs and maintenance to full scale construction projects they provide the key skills needed to plan and complete all work, however large or small, on time and to within budget.

They specialise in Traditional (Brick & block) build, small unit schemes (4-6 houses) / £200K - £500K residential refurbs.

Due to organic growth in the business my client is seeking a Contracts Manager to join their dynamic and hard-working close team.

We are looking for someone who has some or all of the following skill-set:

* Strong collaboration skills are the bedrock of solid contract management
* Depth of business knowledge
* Communication skills and project management experience
* Negotiation skills
* Attention to detail and a strong understanding of contracts

The Contract Manager negotiates and manages all the contracts of a company to ensure that the business signs beneficial deals. They understand the requirements of any contract or agreement their employer is entering and advise them on how to get the most favourable terms and conditions.

Other duties and responsibilities of the Contract Manager include:

* Developing and maintain relationships with independent contractors, vendors, suppliers and customers
* Creating standard contracts that the company can use in its dealings with internal and external partners
* Studying the requirements, duties and obligations of the company under contracts to ensure alignment with the company's goals and industry regulations
* Supervising contract execution to ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines
* Researching business partners and their history prior to writing or signing contracts
* Monitoring the implementation and performance of signed contracts
* Maintaining, updating and improving contractual records

Ideally the right candidate would come from a similar role however if the candidate has come from a Project Management background working in construction, then this would also suffice.

A great company to work for with a great history and a chance to become an integral part of the team!
