Preston (Office-Based)
£50,000–£60,000 + Company Van + Package
Permanent
I'm working with a well-established interior refurbishment contractor based in Preston, and they're looking to bring in an experienced Contracts Manager to take ownership of their project delivery function.
They're a close-knit team with a strong pipeline of work across the education and commercial sectors, and this is a key hire for the business.
This is a hands-on role, suited to someone who understands how projects are delivered on-site, not just on paper.
You'll be responsible for overseeing multiple refurbishment projects at once, managing everything from initial planning through to completion.
Key responsibilities include:
-
Managing multiple projects across the North West (from South Birmingham up to Cumbria)
-
Planning and sequencing works, ensuring projects are delivered on time
-
Coordinating subcontractors and internal teams across multiple sites
-
Acting as the main point of contact for both site teams and clients
-
Attending site to check quality, progress and H&S compliance
-
Measuring, planning and ordering fitted furniture (a core part of their work)
-
Supporting junior PMs during busy periods
They want someone who's been there and done it, someone who can walk onto site and immediately know what's right and what isn't.
-
Background “on the tools” – ideally joinery, but other trades considered
-
Experience within fit-out / refurbishment projects
-
Strong experience measuring and planning kitchen or fitted furniture installs
-
Comfortable managing multiple jobs at once
-
SMSTS or SSSTS + CSCS card
-
Confident using Excel / programming software (or similar)
-
Full UK driving licence
Most importantly, they want someone practical who understands how to get jobs delivered, not just managed.
-
£50,000–£60,000 salary
-
Company van + fuel (business use + commute)
-
23 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
-
Monday–Friday role (no weekend work)
-
Supportive, down-to-earth team environment
-
Modern office with good motorway access
This isn't a corporate environment where you're just another number. You'll have real visibility of projects, direct involvement in delivery, and a genuine impact on how jobs run.
They move quickly, expect a lot, but give you the autonomy to do your job properly.
If you'd like more info or want a confidential chat, apply and I'll give you a call.
