Operating across multiple regions, sites and technologies, the role provides senior on-site oversight and assurance over contractors and principal contractors delivering installation and construction works. While day-to-day site activity is typically managed by the Internal Delivery Units and relevant supply chain, the Contracts Manager retains accountability for ensuring delivery aligns with contractual obligations, programme commitments, quality standards, and rigorous QHSE and CDM requirements. The role acts as the primary operational interface between SaveMoneyCutCarbon development & operations, client property teams and contractors, leading contractor governance, progress validation, issue resolution, variation control and budget oversight. Clear, accurate reporting and proactive communication are central to the role, ensuring transparency, effective decision-making and strong client confidence throughout programme delivery. Combining strong on-site leadership with commercial and contractual acumen, the Contracts Manager drives consistency, performance and continuous improvement across complex delivery environments. The role is critical in protecting client outcomes, managing delivery risk, and ensuring programmes achieve measurable cost, carbon and operational benefits. As programmes evolve, the Contracts Manager will support subsequent delivery phases and contribute to the wider operational maturity and growth of SaveMoneyCutCarbon's business operations and business units, embedding best practice in contractor management, QHSE governance and commercial control across the organisation. Technologies & Work Types Projects and programmes may include multiple technologies and measures typical to retrofit and decarbonisation delivery, including (but not limited to): Solar PV and associated electrical works LED lighting upgrades Controls and monitoring HVAC improvements Fabric and insulation measures Water reduction technologies Ancillary construction and enabling works Surveys, validation works, commissioning and handover documentation Key Accountabilities 1) Delivery Leadership & Programme Control Provide senior on-site oversight and assurance across all regions and sites, ensuring works are executed in accordance with contract requirements, design intent, scope, programme plans and client expectations. Maintain a clear, up-to-date view of programme status across all sites and contractors, identifying risks and delays early and supporting PCs to recover programme performance. Conduct regular site progress checks, validate reported progress, and ensure schedule integrity across multiple concurrent workstreams. Drive consistency across contractor delivery approaches, governance routines, reporting, and site standards. 2) Health, Safety, Environment & Quality (QHSE) - "Safety First" Maintain a strong visible safety leadership presence across site activities. Conduct routine QHSE and compliance spot checks, ensuring PCs adhere to: CDM 2015 requirements Site safety plans, RAMS and permits SMCC and client safety standards Competency requirements and training Escalate safety concerns immediately, ensure corrective actions are implemented and closed out. Support the development and continuous improvement of SMCC delivery standards, checklists, and quality assurance processes. Ensure quality inspections are completed and snagging is robustly managed, leading to "right first time" outcomes. 3) Contract & Commercial Management Ensure Principal Contractors deliver in line with contractual obligations, including scope, programme, performance standards, documentation and reporting requirements.
