Commercial Manager Pre-Construction (Head of Contracts Level) Glasgow Permanent Civil Engineering Infrastructure Energy Excellent Salary + Company Car + Bonus + Benefits Shape Commercial Strategy. 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. This isn't a role focused on managing a quantity surveying team or overseeing the commercial delivery of a single project. Instead, it's an opportunity for someone who enjoys solving commercial problems, influencing strategic decisions and ensuring projects are established on the strongest possible commercial and contractual footing before work even begins. If you're looking for a role where your experience can genuinely influence the future direction of a business not simply the outcome of individual projects this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Why this role is different Unlike many senior commercial appointments, this role is centred around the front end of projects.
