Operations Manager/Contracts Manager

Join an SME based in the West End as an Operations Manager or Contracts Manager, focused on delivering refurbishment and fit-out of high-end commercial and retail spaces across West London. This is a strategic hire to bring an experienced construction professional into the fold who can drive the business to the next level, working as part of a great team while contributing to large commercial projects.

Construction and operational experience on projects is essential, as this is a hands-on role, with the whole team getting involved in tendering and delivery.

Key Requirements

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

  • A proven track record of working in an SME construction business is key.
  • Strong organizational skills, coupled with the experience and ability to operate successfully on site.
  • Experience in budgeting, scheduling, and resource allocation is required.
  • The ability to communicate effectively with clients, subcontractors, and team members.
  • Track record in fit-out and commercial developments would be great, but this is not an essential requirement as long as you have clear construction project experience.

Role Details

This is a long-term strategic hire, looking for an individual who can deliver for 3-5 years in the role before stepping up into a potential directorship, rather than someone looking to come in, deliver a project and move on.

This role is perfect for a proactive individual who is looking for a clear career plan to move towards a directorship. It’s a hands-on role, where you will be expected to deliver across all aspects of the business, rather than delegating to a large existing team.

If you are ready to take the next step in your career, then this is the role for you.
