We're looking for an experienced Commercial Lead to join an established specialist contractor working across enabling works, structural alterations and groundworks.

This is a senior role with real responsibility. You'll lead and develop a team of Quantity Surveyors, take ownership of the commercial performance of the business and report directly into the Board.

You’ll be responsible for making sure projects are commercially well managed from tender through to final account, with a strong focus on margin, forecasting, cash flow, risk and contractual performance.

You’ll be:

• Leading and supporting a team of QSs.
• Reporting commercial performance directly to the Board.
• Overseeing project budgets, forecasts, valuations, variations and final accounts.

• Working closely with project and operational teams to drive performance.
• Developing the QS team and building a strong commercial culture.

About you

You’ll have solid commercial experience within enabling, construction or a related specialist contracting environment, such as RC/structures, with a good understanding of the challenges around complex inner London schemes.

Most importantly, you'll be commercially sharp, comfortable leading people, confident dealing with senior stakeholders and able to see both the detail and the bigger picture.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to take ownership of the commercial function, lead a strong QS team and have a direct influence at Board level
