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
