Want to lead major AMP8 infrastructure projects? Develop a high-performing commercial team? Build your career with a global engineering consultancy?
We're working exclusively with a leading multinational engineering consultancy that has secured a significant pipeline of AMP8 work and is continuing to invest heavily in its Water division.
As a result, they're looking to appoint an experienced Commercial Manager to lead the commercial delivery of a portfolio of projects for one of the UK's largest water utilities.
This is far more than a traditional commercial role. You'll have the opportunity to shape a growing team, influence major infrastructure programmes and play a key role in delivering projects that will improve critical UK water infrastructure for years to come.
If you're looking for genuine career progression within a global organisation that invests in its people, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
The Role
You'll take commercial responsibility for a portfolio of engineering and infrastructure projects typically valued between £5m and £20m, while leading an established commercial team consisting of:
* Senior Quantity Surveyor
* 2 Quantity Surveyors
* 2 Assistant Quantity Surveyors
Working closely with Project Managers, Design Leads and senior stakeholders, you'll provide commercial leadership throughout the full project lifecycle, ensuring projects are delivered successfully under NEC contracts.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and develop a team of commercial professionals.
* Drive commercial performance across multiple infrastructure projects.
* Manage NEC4 contracts, including compensation events and change control.
* Monitor project costs, forecasts and commercial risk.
* Provide strategic commercial advice to project teams and senior management.
* Ensure robust commercial governance and contractual compliance.
* Build strong relationships with clients and internal stakeholders.
* Support the continued growth and success of the Water business.
About You
We're looking for an established Commercial Manager who can demonstrate:
* Experience managing and developing commercial or Quantity Surveying teams.
* Strong knowledge of NEC contracts (NEC4 preferred).
* A background delivering engineering, infrastructure or utilities projects.
* Excellent commercial awareness and stakeholder management skills.
* The ability to lead multiple projects and support complex programme delivery.
Ideally you'll have experience working for organisations such as:
* Engineering consultancies
* Civil engineering contractors
* Infrastructure delivery organisations
* Design & Build contractors
Experience within the water sector or AMP frameworks would be highly advantageous.
What's On Offer?
* Join a globally recognised engineering consultancy with an outstanding reputation.
* Secure, long-term AMP8 project pipeline.
* Genuine opportunities for career progression into senior leadership roles.
* Hybrid working arrangements.
* Comprehensive benefits package.
* Work on projects that make a tangible impact on the UK's critical infrastructure.
