Job Description

My client is a well-established, successful and expanding electrical compliance contractor, and they are looking for an Electrical Contracts Manager to join their growing Electrical Management Team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced supervisor or contracts manager looking to take the next step in their career.

What You'll Be Doing

As an Electrical Contracts Manager, you will play a key role within the Electrical Operations team, managing and delivering a range of commercial electrical compliance and service contracts from start to finish. They operate primarily within the commercial sector, covering schools, office buildings, industrial factories, warehouses, public buildings and hospitals.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:

Operational & Contract Management

  • Managing a team of 10 field-based engineers.
  • Acting as the day-to-day operational lead for your field-based team.
  • Liaising with clients, on-site staff and specialist subcontractors.
  • Reporting on completed works and escalating issues promptly.
  • Ensuring all works meet required quality and compliance standards.
  • Managing labour allocation, material supply and general contract requirements.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve contract efficiency and implementing improvements.
  • Attending client meetings to discuss requirements, progress and performance.
  • Conducting site visits to monitor progress and ensure smooth running of contracts.
  • Carrying out surveys to support estimating.
  • Processing paperwork and documentation as required.

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.
