Location: Coventry
Department: Projects Delivery
Package: Competitive Salary
Lead with Integrity. Deliver with Excellence. Build What Protects Lives.
We are a respected life-safety solutions provider, trusted by clients across the UK for delivering critical fire and emergency-systems projects with absolute compliance and care.
We are now seeking a Projects Delivery & Contracts Manager to lead our Projects Delivery Team and ensure every system we install is safe, compliant and completed to the highest standards — with a robust audit trail from concept to commissioning.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who combines technical excellence, emotional intelligence, and a passion for high-standards in a regulated, mission-critical environment.

You’ll bring people together — internal teams, suppliers, subcontractors and clients — to deliver projects that pass every audit, earn client trust, and protect life and property.

Universal Business Team (“UBT”) is a global enterprise spanning 19 countries across the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, Central America and Australasia. UBT, headquartered in Sydney, Australia, is a diversified business consultancy that supports clients with business-advisory and group-buying services with the objective to help businesses develop a competitive edge. UBT was launched in 2009 in response to the Global Financial Crisis to support client organisations that were either in distress or looking to improve their competitiveness and financial performance. Currently, UBT turns over $500M (AUD) and has aspirations for significant growth over the next three to five years. A recent decision was made to bring four separate global regions together under the one global brand and leadership team. UBT’s business advisory services comprise corporate training, consulting, recruitment, accounting, and group buying services. UBT facilitates leadership and business excellence for our client’s in their respective industries. Through the group buying function, UBT nurtures mutually-beneficial relationships between member businesses and world-leading providers of business goods and services. The outcome to which we strive is a “win-win” for small-to-medium enterprises and big business alike. UBT provides services and products to approximately 3,000 independent, family-owned businesses globally with combined annual revenues exceeding $12B (AUD). The majority are small to medium sized enterprises with typical annual revenue ranges between $5m-$20m. However, there are also some larger businesses with annual revenues in the range of $100m-$250m. The unifying feature of all UBT’s clients is that the owners are parishioners of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC). UBT (which is owned by the PBCC) supports clients by providing products, services and support designed to increase their profitability and growth. The after-tax profits generated by UBT are reinvested into community initiatives, predominantly through schools (established to educate the children of Brethren families) and charities, such as the Rapid Relief Team (“RRT”) and the Red Cross.
