Contracts Manager

Contacts managers are employed by contactors on large building projects where the scope of work to be undertaken involves a highly complex contractual arrangement. A contracts manager needs to be able to demonstrate a solid background in contracts management and an exposure to the construction industry (civil and build).

Contracts managers oversee a team of contact administrators and may be involved in more that one project at a time. Contacts managers assist to ensure that schedules are met, as per contractual arrangements with contractors, subcontractors, engineers and the client.

Contract Managers may perform the following tasks:

• Set up systems and procedures to ensure best practice
• Analyse all contract documentation and associated subcontracts
• Lead the delivery of all aspects of the service in line with contractual and quality requirements
• Contribute to the senior management team
• Proactice engagement with the client for delivery of contractual documentation
• Track and manage all variations, and centralise communications
• Report directly to the senior project manager/managing director
