Electrical Contracts Manager - Niche Recruitment Ltd : Job Details

Looking to take the lead on standout commercial and retail electrical projects across the UK?

If you’re an experienced Electrical Contracts or Project Manager ready to join a business that’s as invested in its people as it is in its projects, this could be your next step.

At Source Electrical, we’re a close-knit, family-style business based in Weston-super-Mare with a national footprint. From large-scale retail refurbishments to growing opportunities in commercial solar installations, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, tailored electrical solutions to some of the UK’s most recognisable brands. Think Dunelm, Lidl, Screwfix and more. As our new Contracts Manager, you’ll oversee projects from enquiry through to invoice, all with the support of a dedicated, hands-on team.

Location & Salary: This is a full-time, permanent role based out of our Weston-super-Mare office with travel across the South West and beyond. Salary is between £50,000-£55,000 plus company car. You’ll also receive an extra day off your birthday off, a healthcare cash plan after 12 months, enhanced holiday with service, and paid company social and charity events.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage projects end-to-end - from site surveys and CAD mark-ups to quoting, delivery and client handover.
• Take full ownership of documentation, including RAMS, certification and O&M manuals.
• Maintain and develop client relationships, becoming a key point of contact and trusted advisor.
• Oversee national fit-out and refurbishment projects with minimal overnight stays.
• Collaborate with the Directors and the engineering team to coordinate labour and resources.
• Bring fresh commercial opportunities to the table and manage variations and profitability.

Skills & Experience:

• Fully qualified electrician with 2391 Test & Inspection (desirable).
• 5 years experience in electrical contracts or project management, ideally in retail or commercial environments.
• Familiarity with solar installations, especially commercial rooftop systems, is a strong advantage.
• Clear communicator with excellent client-facing skills.
• Strong organisational approach with a proactive, solutions-focused mindset.
• Based within a reasonable commute of Weston-super-Mare or Bristol.

At Source Electrical, we don’t just want someone to run jobs, we want someone who’ll thrive in our team, share our ambition, and grow with us. You’ll join a business that cares about its people, values teamwork, and enjoys a curry night or charity day as much as a successful project handover.
