Senior Operations Manager at Flexicruit… · Rochester

Senior Operations Manager

Location: Kent / London (Hybrid Site & Office Based)

Salary: £70,000 + Company Ford Ranger

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.

The Role

• 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
• Identify operational improvements and efficiencies
• Support strategic growth plans alongside the Director

This role will operate as the senior operational lead within the business and will have significant autonomy.

The Candidate

• 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

This would suit someone currently operating at Operations Manager level who is ready to step into a broader leadership position, or a Contracts Manager seeking greater responsibility.

Package

• £70,000 salary
• Company Ford Ranger
• Genuine progression opportunity as the business continues to scale

This is an opportunity to step into a key leadership role within a contractor experiencing strong growth and long-term secured programmes.
