Job Description: My Client has been in business since 1966 and is a major independent door company specialising in the manufacture, installation, repair and maintenance of all types of Industrial Doors and Shutters, Steel Fabrication, Lift Gates and Shutters, Industrial Roofing and Structural Glazing.

The Client has a strong and varied customer base in industry sectors such as MoD, Railways, Retail and Airports as well as numerous local and national businesses. They have a UK wide Branch Network

The Client now seeks an experienced Contracts Manager to look after their steelwork and cladding division which has contracts in a variety of industry sectors.

Experience in a wide variety of contracts would therefore be an advantage.

The successful candidate would be expected to develop relationships with the existing client base, survey and cost jobs and see the projects through to completion.

All work is carried out by their own staff of fabricator / welders and cladding installers and the project managers have the support of draughtsmen and supervisory staff, although a working knowledge of Autocad would be an advantage.

The ability to supervise jobs to ensure they are carried out safely, on time and to required quality standards is a requirement so the suitable candidate will have supervisory or management experience in steelwork and / or cladding and be expected to compile risk assessments and method statements.

There would be opportunity to benefit from ongoing training and career progression developing and expanding the customer base and range of works carried out.
