Commercial Manager

Commercial Manager

GBP55,000 GBP60,000 + benefits Nottingham Hybrid

If you re a Quantity Surveyor or Contracts Manager who feels ready for more than simply looking after your own projects, this could be a really interesting next step.

We re recruiting for an established specialist engineering business that is looking for someone to step into a broader Commercial Manager role with the opportunity to influence how the business manages contracts, commercial risk and profitability rather than simply inheriting an existing way of doing things.

You don t need to already be a Commercial Manager , nor do you need experience in their specific sector.

What matters is that you understand the commercial side of delivering contracted work, have experience working with NEC and JCT contracts , and are ready to take on more responsibility.

What s in it for you?

This is an opportunity to broaden your experience beyond a traditional QS or Contracts Manager position.

You ll work closely with senior leadership and gain exposure across two different areas of the business: major installation projects and a sizeable portfolio of recurring service contracts.

That means getting involved in everything from variations, claims and contractual risk through to pricing, profitability, commercial reporting and longer-term business strategy .

You ll have the autonomy to improve existing commercial processes and, importantly, a genuine opportunity to put the Commercial Manager title on your CV rather than waiting for somebody above you to move on.

What will you be doing?

You'll take responsibility for commercial performance across a mixture of project and service contracts, including:

• Managing NEC and JCT contracts, including variations, claims and commercial risk
• Working with project teams to protect margin, control costs and improve commercial outcomes
• Reviewing contracts and identifying potential commercial exposure
• Supporting pricing, tenders and new business opportunities
• Monitoring contract performance, profitability and cash flow
• Improving commercial reporting and visibility for senior management
• Working closely with Operations, Finance and Sales
• Identifying opportunities to improve the value and profitability of existing customer contracts

What are we looking for?

Your current title isn't particularly important. You could currently be working as a QS, Project Surveyor, Contract Manager, Commercial Surveyor or in another commercially focused role within a contracting environment.

You will need:

• Practical experience working with NEC and JCT contracts
• A good understanding of contract performance, commercial risk and profitability
• Strong commercial and numerical skills
• Confidence dealing with operational teams, customers and senior stakeholders

Experience within utilities, energy, infrastructure, M&E, building services, facilities management or specialist contracting would be particularly useful, although we're open to other relevant construction and engineering backgrounds.
