Contracts Manager – Commercial Groundworks (West Midlands) Tired of fixing other people’s bright ideas?”

(Right first time. Not right eventually.)

Ever feel like half your week’s spent fixing someone else’s bright ideas?

Late drawings. Last-minute design changes. The site team waiting on a decision that should’ve been made last Tuesday.

You’re not managing projects — you’re managing damage control.

Let’s change that.

This contractor delivers proper commercial groundworks — warehouses, retail parks, industrial yards, logistics hubs. Jobs that actually make sense on paper and in the real world.

They’ve built a business around one simple idea: do it right first time.
Not “fastest wins.” Not “cheapest quote.” Just smart people, solid systems, and no drama.

You’ll run multiple projects across the Midlands — leading site teams who know their trade and don’t need babysitting.
You’ll have the freedom to make calls, the trust to back your judgement, and senior management who actually listen when you speak.

No head office politics. No weekly spreadsheet circus. Just proper groundworks done by grown-ups.

Sound refreshing?

You’ll need to know your stuff — commercial groundworks, civils packages, programming, cost control. The usual. But what matters most is judgement. Knowing when to push. When to pause. When to tell a client, politely, that physics doesn’t bend.

You’ll be overseeing sites across the East and West Midlands.

Career progression? Real.
They promote from within. The current Ops Manager started in your seat.
Mentoring, visibility, and no corporate nonsense in the way.

If you want to move somewhere where your standards aren’t “too high”…
Where quality’s still a word people use without laughing…
And where doing the job properly isn’t a battle —

You’ve just found it.

So what are you waiting for get in touch. Everyone who does will get a response.

Don’t worry if you haven’t got an up to date CV. It’s not important for now.

Now the DEI bit (don’t worry it won’t take too long)
