Commercial Manager

We are seeking experienced Commercial Managers to join top-tier contractors in Toronto, working on major new build projects valued at £30m-£200m. Many of these organisations have been around for over 100 years and are regarded as some of the top employers in Canada, having been recognised by top awards/business press.

Responsibilities

• Provide support in areas such as contractual, procurement, project control, and risk/opportunity management
• Be heavily involved in the work-winning process (assessing risk/opportunity and mitigation), contract review/negotiation, through to project delivery (acting as a key steward from work winning to delivery, ensuring that the project team are aware of risks/managing these appropriately)

Note that the role of Commercial Manager in Canada is slightly different from what you might expect in the UK. You're unlikely to be managing a team of QSs but instead will be focused on providing support in the areas mentioned above.
