Are you the person who holds it all together? Not the one who waits to be told. Not the one who needs the manager in the room. The one who knows the team, knows the contract, and makes sure the job gets done. That's what we're looking for. About Accuro Environmental Accuro Environmental is an established environmental services business delivering grounds maintenance, cleaning, estate services, arboriculture, and waste management across Greater London, Hertfordshire, Essex, and Buckinghamshire. Our clients are predominantly public sector. Our standards are high. Our reputation is built on reliable delivery and strong relationships, not just on paper. The Role This is a Contract Supervisor position based from our depot in Watford. You will be managing a mobile team of 11 to 15 grounds maintenance operatives across multiple housing and community sites, working to the requirements of a demanding local authority client. You will report to the Grounds Maintenance Account Manager and be a genuine right hand: someone who can run the operation day-to-day, maintain the client relationship on the ground, manage the team with authority and fairness, and step in fully when the Account Manager is absent. This is not a development role or a step-up. We need someone who has done this before and can hit the ground running from week one. What You'll Be Doing Allocating and managing daily task schedules across a dispersed mobile workforce. Visiting sites regularly to check standards, resolve issues, and keep the team on track. Managing performance, attendance, and conduct firmly, fairly, and consistently. Building and maintaining professional relationships with client representatives on the ground. Deputising for the Account Manager in meetings and client communications when required. Completing weekly and monthly operational reports accurately and on time. Using Dropbox, Atlas, and standard Microsoft tools to manage and record the operation. Delivering toolbox talks and supporting health and safety compliance across the team. Keeping a commercial eye on the contract: flagging variations, managing resources sensibly, and raising opportunities. What We're Looking For You don't need a background in horticulture or grounds maintenance specifically, though it's always useful. What you do need is: Solid, recent experience supervising or managing a mobile, blue-collar workforce of 10 or more people. Credibility with that kind of team: able to lead with authority without needing to rely on management hierarchy to get compliance. Experience delivering services to public sector or local authority clients, or in a comparably demanding, regulated environment. Genuine resilience: you keep the operation moving when things are difficult, not just when everything is going well. Commercial awareness: you understand what the contract needs, manage resources properly, and flag cost risks without being asked. Strong IT literacy and confidence using digital platforms for reporting, task management, and communication. A full, current driving licence. Backgrounds in facilities management, construction, estate services, street cleaning, or similar are all relevant. We're looking for the skills and track record, not the sector badge. The Package Salary: £40,000 per annum Company Vehicle: Provided from day one for site travel Private Health Insurance: BUPA individual cover including mental health, with option to add family members at your own cost Hours: Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week. Approximately 7am start, with flexibility to meet operational needs. Location: Watford depot, with regular travel to operational sites across the contract area. You must live within reliable commuting distance of Watford. About Working at Accuro Accuro is a growing business with a hands-on senior team that is genuinely involved in how the company operates. The Account Manager you'll be supporting has been with the business since 2020 and knows this contract inside out. The regional management structure is clear and the senior team are accessible. We operate digitally. Reports, task management, H&S records, and communications are all handled through cloud platforms. You will need to be confident working this way, and comfortable balancing time in the office or on site depending on what the operation needs. We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds. All applications are assessed on experience, skills, and ability to do the job. How to Apply Please submit your CV. We are looking to appoint as soon as we find the right person, so do not delay. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. REF-
