Join the Redlands Team
Redlands is an established and growing electrical contractor delivering high-quality commercial, education and refurbishment projects across London and the South East.
Due to continued growth, we are looking to recruit either an experienced Electrical Project Manager or an ambitious Electrician, Site Supervisor or Working Foreman looking to take the next step into project management.
At Redlands, character, attitude and a willingness to take ownership are more important to us than previous job titles. If you're organised, motivated, enjoy working with clients and want to build a long-term career within a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
Why Join Redlands?
At Redlands, you'll be trusted with real responsibility from day one. This is far more than a traditional project management role—you'll be involved in every stage of the project lifecycle, from meeting clients and pricing work through to delivering projects on site and final handover.
You'll work on a diverse range of commercial, education and refurbishment projects across London and the South East, supported by an experienced team who value professionalism, initiative and continuous improvement.
If you're looking for a career where you can genuinely make an impact and grow with the business, Redlands offers an excellent opportunity.
The Role
This is a varied, hands-on position where you will manage projects from initial enquiry through to successful completion.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing electrical projects from award through to successful completion.
- Meeting prospective and existing clients on site to discuss their requirements, assess the scope of works and build long-term client relationships.
- Carrying out site surveys for client-direct projects.
- Preparing accurate electrical estimates, quotations and tenders.
- Estimating labour, materials and project costs to produce competitive and profitable quotations.
- Preparing pre-construction documentation, project programmes and mobilisation information.
- Producing technical submissions, equipment schedules, product data and technical responses in accordance with client and consultant requirements.
- Reviewing drawings and specifications, identifying value engineering opportunities and proposing practical, cost-effective solutions.
- Scheduling works, coordinating project programmes and allocating labour to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time and within budget.
- Planning and coordinating engineers, subcontractors and specialist contractors.
- Procuring materials and liaising with suppliers to ensure timely delivery.
- Attending client, consultant and site meetings.
- Monitoring project progress, budgets, costs and profitability.
- Preparing, pricing and agreeing variations.
- Managing project documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
- Ensuring all works comply with current regulations, health and safety legislation and company procedures.
- Providing technical support and guidance to engineers and site teams.
- Managing testing, commissioning, O&M manuals, as-built information and project handovers.
- Building and maintaining excellent relationships with clients, consultants, suppliers and other project stakeholders.
- Identifying opportunities for additional works and supporting the continued growth of the business.
- Promoting the Redlands brand by delivering exceptional customer service and maintaining the highest professional standards.
