Influence Major Projects. Leave a Lasting Legacy. This is a rare opportunity to step into one of the most influential commercial leadership roles within one of Scotland's leading civil engineering contractors. Working directly with the Board and senior operational leaders, you'll help shape how major infrastructure and energy projects are procured, negotiated and commercially governed from pre-construction through to delivery.

Your influence will extend across: Commercial strategy, Contract negotiation, Procurement approach, Commercial governance, Risk allocation, Major business decisions before continuing to support operational teams throughout project delivery.

Supporting claims strategy, change management and dispute avoidance. Coaching and mentoring colleagues to further develop commercial capability across the organisation. This is a position where your judgement, commercial insight and experience will directly influence decisions at the highest level. Who we're looking for We're interested in experience, commercial judgement and credibility not job titles.

You'll bring: Significant commercial leadership experience within a contractor environment. Strong knowledge of NEC contracts together with FIDIC and/or SBCC. Experience supporting pre-construction, major bids and commercial strategy. Excellent contractual negotiation and commercial risk management skills. The ability to influence senior stakeholders and build trusted relationships across commercial and operational teams. A collaborative leadership style with the confidence to challenge constructively and support informed commercial decision-making. Why join?
