We’re looking for an experienced Contracts Manager to take full ownership of our repairs and voids operation in the East of Scotland.
The Role
You’ll own our social housing repairs and voids contracts — Housing Association and Local Authority — which are run from our Glencarse, Perth base. You’ll be the senior point of contact for both clients, manage our Contracts Supervisors and their teams, with the support of our Glencarse based Contract Administrators and be accountable for delivering every repair and void safely, on time, to quality and to budget.
You Will
- Own the contracts — performance, KPIs, client relationships and delivery.
- Lead and develop our Contracts Supervisors and direct the wider team.
- Keep every repair and void job moving from inspection to handback — nothing stalls.
- Plan and resource across our contracts, balancing in-house labour and subcontractors.
- Deliver to budget, working closely with our QS on cost control.
- Ensure health, safety and quality standards are met throughout.
