  • Oversee contract negotiations, procurement, and subcontractor management.
  • Monitor project performance and implement cost-control measures.
  • Provide commercial insight and strategic advice to senior management.
  • Ensure compliance with legal and contractual obligations.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Proven experience as a Commercial Manager or Senior Quantity Surveyor in the construction industry.
  • Strong knowledge of construction contracts (e.g., JCT, NEC).
  • Excellent financial, analytical, and negotiation skills.
  • Ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams.
  • Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or a related field preferred.
