Contracts Manager
EPS Limited – Bristol
£35,000 - £45,000 per annum DOE + Bonus Scheme
EPS Ltd are looking for an experienced, ambitious and commercially minded Contracts Manager to join our expanding team.
We are a long-established, family-run property maintenance business operating throughout Bristol, the South West and South Wales. Whilst we are proud of our family business ethos, we are also ambitious and focused on continued growth.
We are looking for someone who wants to become a key part of that journey.
The ideal candidate will possess extensive knowledge of building fabric repairs and maintenance, have both practical and theoretical experience in surveying, pricing and managing projects, and be highly organised with strong leadership and communication skills.
This is a hands-on role that combines surveying, estimating, project management and client relationship management.
The Role

We are looking for someone who understands the commercial side of contracting and can:
- Develop relationships with existing clients
- Follow up and convert quotations
- Identify additional works opportunities
- Help maintain a healthy pipeline of future projects
- Contribute towards the continued growth of EPS Limited
