Job Description

Commercial Director - Central London

An established multidisciplinary construction consultancy is seeking an ambitious Commercial Director to spearhead the continued development of their Central London presence. Working across a broad range of sectors, this appointment offers an experienced Commercial Director the opportunity to take ownership of regional growth, strengthen existing relationships and create a high-performing London-based team.

The successful Commercial Director will combine strong commercial leadership with a proven ability to generate new business. Rather than stepping into a purely operational position, the Commercial Director will be given the platform to expand the consultancy's profile across London, identify new opportunities and convert established industry relationships into long-term instructions.

Alongside work winning, the Commercial Director will oversee key client commissions and ensure the consultancy continues to provide a high standard of commercial and cost management advice. As the London operation develops, the Commercial Director will also play a central role in recruitment, mentoring and building the team required to support future growth.

This is particularly well suited to a commercially driven Commercial Director who has an established London network and wants genuine influence over the direction of an office rather than simply inheriting an existing portfolio.

Commercial Director - Key Responsibilities:

  • Developing and delivering a growth strategy for the Central London office

  • Winning new commissions across a diverse range of property and construction sectors

  • Building relationships with developers, investors, occupiers and wider industry stakeholders

  • Leading fee proposals, pitches and client presentations

  • Providing senior commercial and cost consultancy advice on key projects

  • Identifying new markets, clients and service opportunities

  • Recruiting, managing and developing a growing London team

  • Maintaining strong standards of client service and commercial performance

Commercial Director - Candidate Requirements:

  • Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or a related construction discipline

  • MRICS qualified or equivalent professional standing

  • Extensive UK cost consultancy or professional Quantity Surveying experience

  • Proven business development and work-winning track record within the London market

  • Established network of clients and industry contacts

  • Strong commercial judgement with experience managing senior client relationships

  • Previous leadership, recruitment and team development experience

  • Entrepreneurial approach with the ability to build and grow a consultancy presence

In Return:

  • £100,000 - £125,000 per annum

  • Central London location

  • Significant autonomy over the growth of the London office

  • Opportunity to build and lead your own team

  • Broad sector exposure and senior client responsibility

  • Genuine influence over long-term business strategy
