Job Opportunity: Contract Delivery Manager
We are looking for an experienced Contract Delivery Manager in East London to lead the successful delivery of retrofit and energy efficiency installations. You'll oversee operational teams, supply chain partners, and client relationships, ensuring projects are delivered safely, compliantly, on time, and right first time.
Key Accountabilities

- Conduct pre-, mid-, and post-installation site inspections and audits. You will ensure all work meets strict regulatory specifications, safety standards, and documentation timelines.
- Act as the go-to technical and logistical problem solver, swiftly resolving on-site issues, managing material budgets/cost savings, and collaborating with procurement to streamline deliveries.

- Ensure all teams (internal and external) update crucial IT systems accurately and on time.
