Our client is a specialist landscaping contractor delivering high-end residential garden refurbishments across central London, and is looking for an experienced Contracts Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of projects worth up to a few million each.

You don't need a landscaping background for this role. The Site Managers and site teams bring the technical know-how. What the business needs is someone with a strong contractual grip who can run projects commercially, manage demanding private clients and keep delivery on track.

Key Responsibilities

• Take contractual ownership of multiple garden refurbishment projects from pre-start through to handover
• Review contracts and manage variations, notices and change control
• Work alongside the commercial team on valuations, cost reports and final accounts
• Lead and support Site Managers to deliver on programme, budget and quality
• Act as the main point of contact for clients, architects, garden designers and consultants
• Maintain H&S, compliance and documentation across all sites

The Ideal Contracts Manager will have:

• Strong contractual experience
• A background in high-end residential, super-prime or similar quality-driven work
• Experience overseeing projects up to a few million in value
• Confidence managing private clients and their professional teams
• Landscaping experience is a bonus but not essential

• Start date: ASAP
• Location: Central London projects, office in SW London
• Salary: £70-80k PAYE
• Contract: PAYE, CIS or self-employed
