Senior Contracts Administrator / Contracts Manager required - Construction Advisory Client-Side Firm
Your New Company
Completely unique, a construction advisory consultancy with a client-side focus.
Are you a senior CA and you don't think there is an easier life out there?
Getting slammed?
Working late?
Constant arguing with sub-contractors?
Too much travel?
This could be life-changing.
Literally.
One of my favorite clients due to the uniqueness of what they do, providing their staff with something entirely different.
These guys are an extremely experienced and well-networked construction, property development, and strategic advisory firm.
Not only is the role different, but the hours and work-life balance are far more attractive than your standard builder.
Your New Role
Are you a Senior Contract Administrator or Contracts Manager who enjoys the role but would love to remove some of the frustrations?
Imagine working on the Developer, Consultancy side:
- Not dealing with subcontractors
- Getting into contracts at a higher level
- Getting into the financials on developments
- Less around variations
- Work across a range of projects
- More into consultancy scope rather than subcontractor scope
- Tenders to major builders, not subcontractors
- Simply less head banging!
They offer a different overall service, dealing with clients from the outset of projects to improve the overall delivery throughout.
Providing a strategic service upfront makes projects more cost-effective and leads to better outcomes overall.
Their core business is front-end development/project strategy and replanning, whilst their PM function is an additional service they provide.
Essentially, they provide full life cycle development services.
They require a seasoned, career-driven, passionate Senior Contract Administrator / Contracts Manager that wants to be the point of contact for all things commercial for this growing business.
The long-term vision is for this role to evolve into the Commercial Manager.
The role will see you being involved in the nicer side of projects, managing builders, not subbies, with more focus on cost reports, progress claims, and consultancy agreements, and less around variations.
Working closely with the clients, your strong background with major Tier 1 or 2 builders will equip you to manage the commercials from a consultancy, advisory perspective.
The projects will vary from schools to apartments, health, and education—a real range.

An opportunity to move into the best side of construction, the advisory space.
Feedback from the previous Tier 1 candidates I helped place here is that this side is genuinely completely different and far more enjoyable.
The day-to-day role is just "nicer, with less headaches".
Work-life balance is massive.
A role that is brand new, so yours to create.
No longer dealing with subbies, those early morning, late-night calls, or all those delivery headaches.
Your role is more structured and manageable, therefore more enjoyable.
