Roofing Junior Contracts Manager

About the Company

This is a well-established roofing construction business delivering a wide range of commercial and residential projects across London and the South West. Project values typically range between £50,000 and £2.5 million, covering both new builds and refurbishments.

The business has recently undergone a restructure due to continued growth and a busy pipeline of work. The current management structure includes a Senior Contracts Manager and two experienced Contracts Managers, supported by junior staff, one of whom is transitioning into a Health & Safety role. This creates an excellent opportunity for someone eager to take the next step in their career.

The company is known for offering clear progression opportunities and exposure to both site and office-based responsibilities, making it a great place for someone with hands-on experience who now wants to develop into management.
