Job Description
Commercial Manager, Central London
80,000 to 100,000 (DOE) + package
We're working with a leading UK structures specialist, an employee-owned contractor that self-delivers its work. They're looking for a Commercial Manager to lead the commercial team in their growing London operation.
The work covers concrete repair, structural repair, hydro demolition and civils. Projects range from smaller packages of around 10k up to larger schemes, so you'll be running a high volume of jobs at the same time rather than one or two big ones. If you've come through a tier 1 contractor and now prefer the pace, variety and hands-on feel of a tier 2 business, this role will suit you.
What you'll be doing:
- Leading a commercial team of 5 QSs and junior staff
- Overseeing the commercial delivery of a busy portfolio of projects, from pre-construction through to final account
- Managing CVRs, forecasts, cashflow and reporting across the portfolio
- Leading on subcontractor procurement, negotiations and account management
- Managing variations, claims and final accounts
- Providing commercial input to bids and tenders
- Working closely with the operations team to keep projects efficient and profitable
What they're looking for:
- A Commercial Manager or strong Managing Quantity Surveyor with a civil engineering background
- Tier 1 training is ideal, ideally with time since then at a tier 2 or specialist contractor
- Comfortable running lots of smaller, fast-moving projects alongside larger ones
- Strong contract knowledge and commercial risk management
- Experience leading and developing a team
Concrete repair or hydro demolition experience is not essential. Strong civils experience matters more.
What's on offer:
- 80k to 100k depending on experience, plus package
- Leadership of the commercial function in a growing London team
- Technically interesting, specialist work
- Long-term career with an employee-owned business
