Contracts Manager - Industrial Roofing & Cladding
Leeds
£50,000 per annum
Company van provided
Winsearch UK is proud to partner with a growing industrial roofing and cladding contractor based in Leeds, for an experienced Contracts Manager to join the business.
My client delivers commercial and industrial roofing and cladding projects across the UK, including new build roof and wall cladding systems, refurbishment projects, maintenance contracts, and reactive works. They have built a strong reputation for quality, safety, and reliable project delivery, working across projects valued up to around £1m.
The Role
This is a proper Contracts Manager role, not a step-up position. My client is looking for someone who already has strong experience managing roofing and cladding contracts and can come in with the confidence, organization, and technical knowledge to take ownership of projects from the off.
You'll be managing multiple live projects, coordinating labor, materials, access, programme, and client communication, while making sure work is delivered safely, on time, and to the right standard.
Longer term, this role also offers the opportunity to continue developing within the business, with potential progression towards a director-level position for the right person.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What You'll Be Doing
- Managing industrial roofing and cladding contracts from start to finish
- Overseeing multiple live projects at any one time
- Planning labor, materials, access, and programme requirements
- Managing site teams and subcontractors
- Liaising with clients, main contractors, and suppliers
- Attending site meetings and progress meetings
- Monitoring programme, quality, health and safety, and commercial performance
- Identifying and resolving issues before they become bigger problems
- Supporting project handovers, variations, and close-out
- Helping bring structure and consistency as the business continues to grow
What They're Looking For
- 10+ years' experience within roofing, cladding, or the wider building envelope sector
- 5+ years' experience in Contracts Management within the envelope sector
- Strong background in industrial or commercial roofing and cladding
- Experience managing multiple contracts at once
- Good technical understanding of roofing and wall cladding systems
- Strong client-facing and communication skills
- Commercial awareness and the ability to manage programme, cost, and quality
- Confident managing site teams, subcontractors, and suppliers

The Type of Person Who'll Do Well
This role will suit an experienced Contracts Manager who wants more ownership and long-term progression.
My client is not looking for someone junior who needs to be trained into the role. They need someone who already understands the pressures of managing multiple live roofing and cladding projects and can add value quickly.
You'll need to be practical, organized, and confident dealing with clients and site teams. Just as importantly, you'll need to want to keep progressing, with the ambition to potentially move into a more senior/director-level role as the business grows.
What's on Offer
- £50,000 per annum
- Company van provided
- Permanent role with a growing specialist contractor
- Opportunity to work across varied industrial and commercial roofing/cladding projects
- Direct involvement with senior management
- Long-term development route towards a more senior leadership position
If you're an experienced Contracts Manager from the industrial roofing, cladding, or building envelope sector and you're looking for a role with genuine progression, get in touch with Winsearch UK for a confidential chat.
