Job description

We're supporting a growing EPC in the appointment of a Commercial Manager to establish & lead their commercial function.

This isn't a replacement hire or an opportunity to inherit an existing team. It's a genuine chance to build the commercial function from the ground up, working directly with senior leadership as the business continues its transition from smaller maintenance contracts into GBP1-3M HV infrastructure projects.

Experience across utilities, power, energy, infrastructure, civil engineering or major construction projects would be highly relevant. NEC contract experience is particularly desirable, while HV experience is beneficial but not essential.

The role will involve:

• Reviewing, negotiating & managing NEC contracts from tender through to project completion.
• Managing commercial risk, variations, claims, valuations & cost forecasting to maximise project profitability.
• Supporting tender submissions, procurement & commercial strategy across a growing portfolio of HV projects.
• Developing commercial processes, controls & reporting as the business establishes its commercial function.
• Working closely with Operations & Finance to drive successful project delivery & strong financial performance.
• Playing a key role in shaping the future commercial structure & supporting the company's continued growth.

Package:

• GBP65,000-GBP70,000 base
• Car Allowance
• Hybrid working with enhanced flexibility
• Private Healthcare
• Life Assurance
• Discretionary Bonus
• 25 Days Holiday
