<p><strong>Outline of Opportunity:</strong> <br />We are looking for a commercially astute <strong>Contract Manager</strong> to take the reins of a high-profile, flagship contract carrying out electrical and active fire works.. This isn’t a role for someone looking to “steady the ship”-it’s for a leader who wants to drive it. <br />The contract is secure and performing well, but we need a specialist who can identify the “marginal gains,” unlock hidden commercial value, and treat this £4m per annum account as if it were their own business.</p>
<p>This is a “make your mark” position. You are inheriting a stable foundation with the total autonomy to optimize, innovate, and lead a flagship account within a market-leading organization.</p>

<p>This will include service, maintenance, testing, remedial works, and small installations, ensuring compliance, performance targets, and high service standards are consistently achieved.</p>
<p><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Full P&L responsibility for a £4m active fire contract</li>

<li>Strong working knowledge of fire alarm, sprinkler, and fire suppression systems</li>
<li>Previous experience in a Contract Manager, Senior Operations Manager, or similar role</li>
<li>Commercially aware with experience managing budgets and margin performance</li>
<li>Confident communicator who can manage expectations and hold their ground</li>
<li>Practical, solutions-focused, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment</li>

</ul>
<p><strong>What’s On Offer</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>£70,000-£80,000 salary</li>
<li>Long-term contract stability</li>
