The Opportunity

A leading infrastructure and utilities contractor, backed by private investment, is continuing its rapid expansion and now looking to appoint an experienced Senior Commercial Manager to oversee a major UK framework.

With a strong pipeline of design and construction projects, this is a key strategic hire offering the opportunity to take commercial leadership on large-scale, high-value schemes and play a central role in driving business performance.

The Role

• Take commercial lead responsibility across a major multi-million-pound framework.
• Oversee full project lifecycles from feasibility and design through to construction.
• Manage month-end processes, CVRs, and financial reporting, ensuring robust commercial governance.
• Maintain strong cash flow management and forecasting discipline.
• Conduct project reviews and support strategic commercial decision-making.
• Mentor and support Commercial Managers and wider commercial teams.
• Collaborate closely with senior leadership to shape commercial strategy and best practice.

About You

• Proven background as a Senior Commercial Manager, Managing QS, or similar senior role in construction, infrastructure, or utilities.
• Strong experience with frameworks, contracts (NEC preferred), and commercial reporting.
• Strategic thinker with a hands-on approach and excellent leadership skills.
• Confident communicator with strong client-facing experience.
• Energy sector experience is beneficial but not essential — highways, rail, or other infrastructure backgrounds also considered.

What’s on Offer

• Salary circa £100,000+ depending on experience plus comprehensive benefits.
• Opportunity to work on nationally significant infrastructure projects.
• Strong career development within a growing, well-funded business.
• One-stage, in-person interview process.
