Take ownership. Build lasting relationships. Make a visible impact every day.
You take pride in creating excellent sites, nurturing your teams, and fostering strong client connections. At Ground Control, we value leadership that is collaborative, supportive, and empowering.
We’re looking for a Contract Manager who will care for their region, maintain high standards, and represent the business with professionalism. You’ll have autonomy supported by an experienced operational network, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on your contracts and the people you work with.
What you’ll do
In this role, you’ll take full ownership of your region and play a key part in maintaining strong client relationships and high standards across every site.
- Lead the end-to-end delivery of grounds maintenance services across your region, ensuring each site is well-presented, safe and delivered to the standards expected by our clients.
- Build strong, long-term relationships with customers, acting as their main point of contact and proactively managing expectations, feedback and service improvements.
What you’ll get
- The freedom to run your region with trust, not micromanagement.
- A region where your leadership shapes performance, client satisfaction and long-term success.
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience managing grounds maintenance or horticultural contracts (or similar multi-site service delivery environments), with a clear understanding of operational standards, seasonal demands and what “good” looks like on-site.
- A confident, organised leader who sets clear expectations, follows through on commitments and takes ownership of regional performance and culture.
- Someone who builds trust quickly with clients and teams: credible, communicative and able to handle difficult conversations with fairness and professionalism.
- A calm, solutions-focused problem solver who can prioritise, make sound decisions under pressure and tackle issues early before they escalate.
- Strong commercial awareness, able to spot extra works opportunities, protect margins and balance quality with efficiency.
