The Opportunity

Looking to take the next big step in your leadership journey? Want to be part of a business building the UK's sustainable future?

We’re looking for a Contracts Manager to join our growing team at Holcim UK, overseeing major local frameworks and leading operational excellence across a wide range of surfacing and infrastructure projects. Based at Bardon Hill, this is your opportunity to step into a high-impact role with autonomy, variety, and the chance to shape success from the ground up.

You’ll be the go-to person for our projects in the region, overseeing planning, budgets, safety, delivery and team development. If you're commercially sharp, thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy seeing your leadership make a difference, this one’s for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own the delivery of local authority contracts across the area, ensuring works are completed safely, efficiently, and in full alignment with customer expectations.

• Take charge of planning, programming, and resourcing, assigning the right people and equipment to meet key targets and deadlines.

• Oversee budgets and cost control for large-scale local frameworks, seeking continuous improvements in profitability and delivery.

• Manage and develop your team, supporting supervisors, mentoring foremen, and ensuring the next generation of leaders are growing behind you.

• Collaborate with clients, suppliers, and internal teams to create innovative solutions that drive better value and performance.

• Lead on H&S standards, ensuring Risk Assessments, Method Statements and incident reporting are completed and followed through.

• Maintain accurate site records and work closely with commercial teams for valuations, client reports, and financial forecasting.

• Manage plant, materials and subcontractor coordination, ensuring availability and value for money across every job.

• Drive compliance with our integrated management systems, company procedures, and performance KPIs.

Who You Are

• A natural leader with experience in site or contract management, ideally in surfacing, civil engineering or infrastructure projects.

• Commercially aware with budgeting and cost management skills, especially across frameworks or large contract portfolios.

• You’re confident juggling multiple priorities and adaptable to changing site needs.

• Skilled in building strong working relationships, with clients, supply chain, and your team.

• Passionate about developing others, giving feedback, and supporting a culture of growth and accountability.

• Knowledge of H&S systems and contract compliance procedures is essential.

Why This Role Stands Out

• You’ll be based at our Bardon Hill office - a high-profile hub within Holcim UK as our flagship site, supporting key frameworks and operational innovation.

• This is a great opportunity to learn and grow, with the opportunity to push the boundaries when it comes to your career

• You’ll gain exposure to senior leadership and have the chance to shape the future of project delivery within the business.
