Commercial Manager – Commercial Office Design & Build

London or Amsterdam | EMEA

Salary Dependent on Experience

I’m working with a global Design & Build fit-out company that’s continuing to expand its fit-out division across Europe, and they need a Commercial Manager to join their London or Amsterdam team.

You’ll take commercial ownership of multiple office fit-out projects across EMEA. This is a post-contract, delivery-focused role, working closely with Project Managers to manage budgets, costs and contractual responsibilities from contract award through to final account. There’s no pre-construction, estimating or tendering involved.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing the commercials across multiple office fit-out projects at the same time
• Owning project budgets, cost control, forecasting and financial reporting
• Working closely with Project Managers to protect margins and keep projects commercially on track
• Managing variations, valuations, subcontractor accounts and final accounts
• Administering contracts, including FIDIC, and spotting commercial and contractual risks
• Building strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and internal delivery teams
• Travelling across EMEA as needed to support your projects

What’s on offer:

• Salary and package dependent on experience, with the business open to different levels
• Permanent role, starting ASAP
• Choice of London or Amsterdam base
• The chance to help develop a growing European fit-out division
• Quality workplace projects for international clients, with a supportive team around you

Requirements:

• Previous commercial management experience within Design & Build / commercial office fit-out, with a strong understanding of the delivery side
• Experience managing budgets and commercial responsibilities across multiple live projects
• Previous experience working with FIDIC contracts
• Strong post-contract experience, from contract award through to final account
• Confident dealing directly with clients and working alongside Project Managers
• Experience working across EMEA and a willingness to travel

If you know post-contract commercials inside out and fancy helping grow a global business across Europe, this one’s worth a chat.
