London | No.1 Commercial Role | Leadership Team | Shape the Future

Lead the Commercial Strategy. Drive the Growth.

This is more than a Commercial Manager role – it’s your chance to take the commercial lead of a successful £30m specialist civil engineering business, backed by the stability and resources of a £200m construction group.

Reporting directly to the Divisional Managing Director, you’ll take ownership of the commercial strategy, lead a high-performing team, drive profitability and play a pivotal role in the next phase of growth.

If you’re looking for genuine autonomy, strategic influence and a seat at the leadership table, this is the opportunity.

The Role

With a strong order book and ambitious growth plans, you’ll:

• Lead all commercial activity across the division’s project portfolio.
• Drive profitability, forecasting, budgeting and commercial performance.
• Oversee procurement, subcontract management, contracts and risk.
• Partner with operational teams to maximise project outcomes.
• Develop and mentor the commercial team.
• Work alongside the Divisional MD to shape business strategy and future growth.
• Build lasting relationships with clients, suppliers and key stakeholders.
• Champion commercial governance and best practice.

About You

You’ll already be operating as a Commercial Manager/Director or Commercial Lead with experience in civil engineering, infrastructure or specialist contracting.

You’ll bring:

• A proven track record of leading commercial teams and multiple projects.
• Strong commercial acumen with a focus on improving performance.
• Excellent NEC contract knowledge.
• The confidence to influence senior stakeholders and make strategic decisions.
• The ambition to help lead and grow a successful business.
