About the Company

My client is a large Tier One main contractor who turns over £131M a year. They are part of a larger group of companies all within Civil Engineering. They are a multi-disciplined company working within Aviation, Rail, Highways, Defence, Ports and Marine, and Power. Their clients include Network Rail, Crossrail, TFL, Docklands Light Railways, and the Ministry of Defence. Their works include flood alleviation schemes, public realm works, maintenance, sewage treatment works, earthworks, groundworks, remediation, retaining walls, platform extensions, new station buildings, bridges, footbridges, and capital and minor works.

About the Opportunity

This Contracts Manager role is to initially be part of a long-term framework at the Port of Dover. These works are part of their defence division and include repair and maintenance works across the port, including both emergency and planned maintenance works. You will be an experienced Contracts Manager with experience in working with NEC contracts and long-term frameworks. There will also be capital works up to the value of £3M, including works on three lighthouses. Further works include a Thames Water framework, so any water-based experience would be ideal. You will need to be at the Port of Dover for at least a couple of days a week, but the works are all over the South East, so you will need to be able and willing to travel for this role.

There is a team of 12 that will be reporting into you, and they are looking to grow that team further over the coming months.

Rewards and Benefits

You will be joining a successful and high-performing team and will be rewarded with a salary of between £80,000 and £87,000, plus a package which will include a car allowance of £7,020, family medical cover, 26 days holiday, and a 7% pension contribution.

Requirements

You will ideally come from a Civil Engineering background and have a solid understanding of NEC contracts and long-term frameworks. You will have a strong and stable history within Civil Engineering, having been at your previous companies for at least 3 years.
