You’ll oversee valuations, variations, cost control, cash flow, contractual risk and project profitability, ensuring the business maintains a clear and accurate understanding of each project’s commercial position.

Alongside managing your own commercial responsibilities, you’ll have the opportunity to develop GW Power’s commercial function, introduce greater consistency across processes and provide trusted commercial guidance to operational teams and Directors.
