Senior Employers Agent / Contract Administrator

Early in 2021 I was approached by the joint MD of this highly successful and rapidly growing consultancy.

My contact’s previous roles have included Director and London Head of Building Consulting for AECOM and Director and Head of Design and Contract Administration for Savills.

To say things at this consultancy have developed rapidly over the six years my contact has been there would be putting it mildly. They have always been a stable and profitable company throughout their twenty years existence, however their expertise in the warehouse, logistics and retail sectors have catapulted them into the major league and therefore naturally into a much wider range of sectors.

Success with key clients like Amazon, GLP, DHL, John Lewis, Argus, BMW/Mini/Rolls Royce and Jaguar/Land Rover, has not only meant rapid growth across the UK, but also now across Europe and further afield.

Whilst warehouse and logistics remains core to their business, other key sectors now include significant residential, office, mixed use, data centres and private residential projects for ultra-high-net-worth individuals. They are currently seen as the 'disrupters’ within the data centre sector.

Their success with such blue-chip clients is no fluke. It is entirely down to their attention to every detail and a very simple and clearly identifiable strategy with regards to the type of person they invite to work with them. The also look after their staff incredibly well with a very competitive package including a bonus scheme up to 20%. Also not one team member of this company were furloughed throughout Covid.

I have since placed 8 top quality candidates with this company and they are all very excited to be there.

They are now keen to meet a highly experienced Senior Employers Agent / Contract Administrator from either a Quantity Surveying or Project Management background. Industrial/distribution and data centre experience would be ideal but ultimately it isn't important, they just need someone with strong JCT D&B knowledge and the ability to drop straight into projects with minimum support. Projects are likely to be London based and you will be able to work on a hybrid/flexible basis between home, office and site. You would also have the opportunity to work on some of their EU projects, should that interest you.

Benefits include a discretionary bonus of up to 20% (pro rata for first year of employment), plus 27 days holiday plus bank holiday, 5% employer & employee contributory pension scheme, Life Assurance at 4 x basic salary, car allowance (amount to be agreed) and medical insurance upon completion of probation period (which is 6 months).
