Are you someone who thrives behind the wheel rather than behind a desk?
Due to exceptional growth, our client needs a hands‑on Contracts Manager who lives and breathes operational excellence on the ground. This isn't a typical management role – expect to spend 80% of your time on the road, visiting sites, solving problems in real‑time, and being the face of quality across our nationwide operations.
A Day in Your Life
* On the road constantly – travelling between sites North & South, conducting visits, audits, and inspections
* Client‑facing problem solver – you'll be the trusted point of contact, building relationships face‑to‑face and resolving issues before they escalat(e?)
* Hands‑on leadership – managing supervisors and frontline teams across multiple locations, with regular in‑person presence
* Operational firefighter – spotting issues during site visits, implementing immediate fixes, and driving standards up
* Performance guardian – monitoring delivery against KPIs through direct observation and client feedback
* Resource orchestrator – managing rosters and scheduling to keep operations running smoothly across all sites
What Makes You Right for This Role
You must have:
* Proven experience in site‑based operations management – you've done the miles and the site visits
* A track record of client relationship management – face‑to‑face, building trust, solving their problems
* Strong problem‑solving skills – you can think on your feet and fix issues in the moment
* 3+ years managing contracts or multi‑site operations (ideally in security services)
* Comfort with constant travel – this role requires flexibility and significant time on the road
* Full, clean driving licence – non‑negotiable for this mobile role
* Leadership skills – managing dispersed teams and driving performance remotely
* Experience with both public and private sector contracts
* Background in security operations and compliance (SIA, PSA, Health & Safety)
* Familiarity with workforce management systems
* Previous involvement in tender mobilisation or client presentations
What's in It for You
* Company car – your mobile office
* Competitive salary package
* Be part of a rapidly growing company with ambitious plans
* Shape operations across high‑profile, diverse sites
* Genuine career progression opportunities
This Role Is NOT For You If:
* You prefer office‑based work
* You want a typical 9‑5 desk role
* You're not comfortable with extensive travel
* You like to manage operations remotely rather than being on‑site
This Role IS For You If:
* You're energised by being out and about
* You build your best client relationships face‑to‑face
* You like solving problems where they happen – on the ground
* You lead best when you're visible and present
* You see your car as your second office
