Shape the Future of Civil Engineering — Commercially
£65,000–£75,000 + Employee Ownership Trust + Strategic Leadership Pathway
Kent/Sussex/Surrey | Permanent
This isn’t just another Commercial Manager role — it’s your opportunity to become a key strategic voice in a business that values long-term thinking, loyalty, and commercial excellence.
We’ve partnered exclusively with a well-established civil engineering firm delivering high-impact infrastructure projects across the South East. Quietly respected and deeply rooted in the community, this company is built on trust and driven by purpose — and they’re looking for someone who wants more than a job. They want to build something that lasts.
As Commercial Manager, you’ll be at the heart of the business — steering financial performance, shaping commercial strategy, and influencing project outcomes across schemes up to £10 million in highways, water, and local authority sectors. You’ll work closely with operational teams, ensuring that contracts are robust, risks are managed, and margins are protected. Your insight will guide decisions, and your leadership will help shape the future of the company.
This is a business where ownership isn’t just a concept — it’s a reality. Through their Employee Ownership Trust, every team member has a stake in the success of the company. That means your voice matters, your decisions count, and your career has a clear path to directorship.
What you’ll bring:
- A strong track record in commercial management within civil engineering or groundworks, ideally across highways, utilities, or infrastructure.
- A deep understanding of contract law, cost control, and risk management.
- A civil engineering qualification from a UK college or university.
- Excellent communication skills and commercial acumen.
- CSCS certification and IT literacy.
