Contract Manager

Company Description

BJF Group is a leading multi-discipline Main Contractor based across the UK, specialising in delivering high-quality construction projects across various sectors - priding ourselves on our reputation for excellence and attention to detail.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking a talented and experienced Contract Manager with a background in the delivery of both Hard and Soft FM services to bolster our team.

We pride ourselves on nurturing talent and fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive - if you have ambitions to play a key part in driving our business forwards, then we want you to join us at an exciting time of development and growth to realise your full potential.

Position

At BJF Group, we offer a career filled with opportunities, challenges, and innovations within a family environment where you're empowered to make a real difference.

The Contract Manager will manage the day-to-day contractual and operational delivery, ensuring contractual compliance is achieved within the areas under their responsibility in line with BJF Group policy and procedures.

Reporting directly into the Head of FM for the South East, the post holder will act as a point of contact for the client facilities management team to provide technical support and advice to achieve contract delivery - underpinned by the planning and execution of all planned maintenance tasks to ensure both statutory and mandatory Compliance.

Strong stakeholder management skills will be essential, as you will be expected to provide leadership, management, and development of the contract, ensuring financial and operational commitments are met and exceeded, as well as establishing full competence across the team - supporting peaks and troughs in workload and mitigating for disaster recovery.

If you are an experienced FM professional with ambitions of joining a growing business, we can offer you a collaborative yet challenging environment with the opportunity to see the tangible impact that your decisions will make on day-to-day business operations and wider business objectives.
