The Opportunity
We are working with an established housing developer specialising in new-build social housing through partnerships, who are looking to appoint an experienced Contracts Manager to join their growing construction division.

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.
