ABOUT THE COMPANY
My client is a leading commercial fit-out company based in London, providing a comprehensive range of design, planning, and construction services to the retail and office sectors. With a strong reputation for excellence, specialising in delivering outstanding results for our clients.
As a principal contractor, they offer a complete turnkey operation, managing every aspect of a project, including the coordination of client-appointed specialist trades. Their versatility allows them to accommodate a wide range of project requirements, whether it’s creating a brand-new store, refreshing an entire estate, implementing store rollout programs, or providing scheduled maintenance for multiple sites.
My client takes pride in our enthusiastic and hardworking teams who understand the unique demands of commercial fit-out work. Their ethos is one of optimism, ambition, and dedication.
With a management team boasting over 35 years of combined shop fitting experience, they fully grasp the high expectations of their retail and commercial clients. Customer satisfaction, reliability, and delivering excellent value for money are at the core of our business strategy. These principles have not only helped us weather the recent economic downturn but have also fuelled our growth during challenging times.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Contracts Manager, your role involves managing up to two active projects and preparing for upcoming ones. As a Contracts Manager, you will receive client drawings and assemble packages for sub-contractors to obtain quotes. Additionally, you will be responsible for creating the construction phase plan and program. Typically, projects have a duration of 5-6 weeks.
While most of your client’s projects are based in London, they also operate across the UK. Your client values independence, allowing the right candidate to manage their own working hours and location. They provide office spaces in Islington, London, as well as the flexibility to work from home when not visiting sites. The primary focus is on getting the work done efficiently and effectively.
REQUIREMENTS
As a Contracts Manager, it is crucial to possess a good understanding of the duties and responsibilities associated with the role. Specifically, you should have 3-5 years of Project Management experience in the field of retail fit-out and refurbishment. It’s important to note that this position will require occasional travel to project sites, including the possibility of overnight stays, with all associated expenses covered by the company. Typically, you will be expected to visit local sites either once a week or once every two weeks.
REWARDS AND BENEFITS
In terms of compensation, my client is offering a competitive salary ranging from £50,000 to £65,000, which will be determined based on the candidate’s experience. Alongside this, you will be provided with a company credit card and a travel allowance of £0.45 per mile. Additionally, a pension plan will be included as part of the benefits package. My client is also willing to consider additional perks and negotiate tailored packages for the ideal candidate. During the interview process, flexible working options can be discussed in more detail and defined to align with individual preferences.

And our relationships don’t end on day one of a new role – we pride ourselves on our ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and construction professionals. And we are fortunate enough to work with many leading construction companies and professionals in London and throughout the rest of the UK.

I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.
Operations Director,
Platt and Reilly Ltd
The Cityscape Recruitment team has always been great to deal with. Always ready to listen to our needs and requirements, a quality some recruiters do not appreciate or have, then advising where they can assist in our staff procurement. We look forward to working with Laura and Cityscape in the coming years.

When you first contact us, be that through direct contact, responding to an advert or applying through our website, we will connect you with a consultant who works in your specialist area.
Initially, they will arrange a meeting to talk through your CV and career history. They will encourage you to go into detail about your background and experiences, capabilities and responsibilities, personal circumstances and any other factors they feel are relevant to help them build up a well-rounded profile of you.
We take extraordinary care in matching professionals to an opportunity – one that will help enhance their careers and a clients’ team. We therefore also use this meeting to empower you in your career. Using our extensive knowledge of the construction industry, we would provide in-depth overviews of businesses, projects and available roles, and guidance on where your strengths will add the most value and career potential.
After this meeting, the consultant will speak to a number of their clients about you and your CV. Who they speak to can be either jointly agreed upon or you can trust the judgement and expertise of the consultant to contact clients they feel are the best fit for your experience and goals.
If any clients are interested in meeting with you, the consultant will manage the interview process, coaching you before any interviews if required. (Further guidance can be found here.)
If you are successful in receiving an offer(s), our consultant will communicate this with you and help to negotiate the offer(s) and any other terms of employment.
Finally, we will support you in resigning from your current role, navigating potential counter offers and starting your new role.
