Contracts Manager (Commercial Flooring)

Salary: £26,000 per year

My East Yorkshire based client is a long established commercial flooring company and have become the leading specialist in the region. They have a wide range of clients, including the NHS, councils, private building companies, public sector organisations, retailers and construction companies, supplying and installing a flooring products such as commercial carpeting/carpet tiles, laminate flooring, vinyl flooring/tiles, non-slip flooring, sports flooring etc. Their prestigious projects include shopping centres, universities, colleges, schools, museums, arenas, prisons and hospitals with projects valued up to £1m. The bulk of their projects are in the Yorkshire region but they do work outside this area. I am currently looking for a Contracts Manager to help them with their continued growth.

The purpose of the role is to oversee the successful management of commercial flooring projects/contracts from inception to completion, keeping the client informed at all times. The tasks involved will include estimating/pricing up the projects, organising and managing labour (the company have a team of in-house flooring fitters and also use a trusted team of contractors) and ensuring paperwork and invoicing is done in a timely and accurate basis. Most of their business comes from winning tenders, so this is not a sales role, however candidates should be commercially minded and be able to spot opportunities to sell additional products/services to existing clients/projects

Candidates will have previous experience of managing commercial flooring contracts/projects this experience could have been gained in a similar role to this previously or possibly owned their own commercial flooring business where their experience would encompass all elements of the role. The company can be flexible in some aspects of the role so for example they will consider a more junior CM at the lower end of the salary range or will look at a CM to work on their small works contracts (up to £26,000). Candidates for this role must reside within a reasonable commute of Hull where much of the role holder’s time will be spent, so candidates in the North/South/West/East Yorkshire or North Lincolnshire areas would be considered. Candidates must be PC literate, have strong communication skills (written and verbal) and possess a UK driving license.

Basic salary dependent on experience will be in the £26,000plus a bonus
