Assistant Commercial Manager Major Infrastructure Two roles. One of the biggest infrastructure projects in Europe. And a genuine chance to build your commercial career from the inside of a client team that sits above the Tier 1 contractors, not inside one. Our client is looking for two Assistant Commercial Managers to join an integrated client team delivering major infrastructure works. These are early-career commercial roles, ideally suited to a graduate quantity surveyor looking for their second position, someone who has had a solid grounding in NEC contract administration and now wants more: more complexity, more exposure, and a clear path toward chartership. What the role involves You will work in an integrated client team, sitting alongside project managers and commercial leads to assure and support the commercial performance of Tier 1 contractors. That means reviewing their work, not doing it for them. You will administer NEC contracts day to day, raise and manage early warnings, track compensation events and support the assessment of change costs. You will get involved in procurement reviews, help validate subcontractor accounts and support the settlement of final accounts. Month to month, you will be contributing to contract performance reporting and helping the team maintain commercial control across live works packages. What we are looking for NEC contract experience is essential. If you have not worked with NEC3 or NEC4 in a meaningful way, this role is not the right fit. Beyond that, we are looking for someone with a quantity surveying background and a genuine appetite to develop commercially on a complex programme. Experience in infrastructure is a strong advantage. Highways, rail, utilities, civils: all relevant. A background in building or MEPH is also genuinely interesting to our client. If you are working toward your APC, our client can support that journey. These roles sit within a team that understands professional development and will give you the breadth of experience that the assessment process requires, and the ability to second you to a Contractor for your qualification. Hybrid working applies, with a minimum of three days per week on site or in the office. Closing date: 28 August 2026. If this sounds like the right next step, get in touch with us directly or send across your CV and we will come back to you promptly.
