Small Works Manager – Super Prime Residential
Basingstoke region (projects generally 1–1.5hrs away)
If you’ve ever:
- Run a high-end residential project and thought, I’m already doing half the Contracts Manager’s job here
- Coordinated multiple trades, consultants and a client who has just discovered reclaimed Belgian limestone on Instagram
- Explained, diplomatically, that changing the staircase after second fix may have implications
…you may be ready for this.
I’m working with a specialist contractor delivering super-prime residential projects up to £3m, looking for a Small Works Manager - essentially a step-up role into Contracts Management, overseeing two projects at a time.
This isn’t aimed at a seasoned Contracts Manager.
It’s much more likely to suit a Site Manager ready to step up, or someone with some multi-site exposure looking for more ownership.
You’ll be:
- Overseeing two live projects
- Supporting programming, procurement and delivery
- Working with clients, architects and site teams
- Keeping quality high and surprises to the manageable kind
The work is beautifully detailed, technically demanding, and - because it’s super-prime residential - occasionally influenced by ideas formed after a long weekend in Tuscany.
High-end residential experience would be a big plus.
Multi-site exposure helpful, not essential.
If you’re ready to move from running a project to overseeing projects, this could be worth exploring.
