A growing construction contractor delivering refurbishment and planned works programmes across MOD and housing stock is seeking a Senior Operations Manager to take full operational control of the business.
This is not a desk-based operations role. This is a senior leadership position with real influence and accountability.
The successful candidate will oversee Site Managers and Project Managers, drive commercial performance, and ensure delivery standards across multiple live sites.
With significant government-backed programmes underway, the business is entering its next growth phase and requires a commercially astute operator who can effectively run day-to-day operations at senior level.
Lead and manage Site Managers and Project Managers across multiple programmes
Ensure works are delivered on time, within budget and to required quality standards
Oversee commercial performance, including reviewing NFF codes, pricing structures and cost control
Work closely with key clients and stakeholders, maintaining strong working relationships
Monitor and drive KPIs across productivity, programme delivery and compliance

This role will operate as the senior operational lead within the business and will have significant autonomy.
Strong background within construction operations (planned works, refurbishment, social housing or MOD experience desirable)
Commercially aware and comfortable reviewing pricing structures and cost codes
Experience managing Site Managers and Project Managers
Confident liaising directly with clients
Strong leadership presence with the ability to drive accountability
Comfortable working in a growing, fast-paced contractor environment
