Contracts Manager – Planned Works (Kitchens, Bathrooms & Voids)

Location: Yorkshire

Salary: £50,000 – £55,000 & Package

Sector: Social Housing

Contract Length: Full Time

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Contracts Manager to oversee a long‑term planned works programme across Yorkshire, focusing on kitchen refurbishments, bathroom upgrades, and void property works. This is a stable, multi‑year opportunity within the social housing sector, ideal for someone who thrives on structure, consistency, and delivering high‑quality improvements to occupied and void homes.

Key Responsibilities

📌 Contract & Project Management

  • Lead and manage planned works programmes including kitchens, bathrooms, and void refurbishments.

  • Ensure all works are delivered on time, within budget, and to required quality standards.

  • Oversee day‑to‑day operations, ensuring smooth coordination between site teams, subcontractors, and internal departments.

  • Monitor progress against KPIs and contractual obligations.

📌 Surveying & Technical Oversight

  • Carry out pre‑ and post‑works surveys as required.

  • Identify scope, specifications, and any variations needed.

  • Ensure compliance with social housing standards and relevant regulations.

📌 Client & Stakeholder Management

  • Maintain strong working relationships with clients, residents, and internal teams.

  • Provide clear communication, updates, and reporting throughout the programme.

  • Act as a trusted point of contact for all contract‑related matters.

📌 Health & Safety

  • Ensure all works are delivered in line with Health & Safety legislation and company policies.

  • Conduct site audits, risk assessments, and ensure safe working practices are consistently followed.

📌 Financial & Performance Control

  • Manage budgets, cost control, and forecasting for the planned works programme.

  • Review performance data and implement improvements where required.

  • Ensure efficient use of labour, materials, and resources.

Skills & Experience Required

  • Proven experience as a Contracts Manager or Surveyor within social housing planned works.

  • Strong knowledge of kitchen, bathroom, and void refurbishment processes.

  • Excellent organisational and leadership skills.

  • Ability to manage budgets, KPIs, and long‑term programmes.

  • Strong communication and client‑facing abilities.

  • Solid understanding of Health & Safety requirements.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • A secure five‑year programme offering long‑term stability.

  • Opportunity to lead meaningful improvement works within the social housing sector.
