You will work closely with project delivery teams, subcontractors, consultants and client stakeholders to ensure strong commercial performance, effective risk management and successful project delivery.
Key Responsibilities
* Manage the commercial delivery of major construction and infrastructure packages.
* Administer subcontract agreements, valuations, variations and final accounts.
* Prepare accurate cost reports, forecasts and cash flow projections.
* Support procurement activities and subcontractor negotiations.
* Monitor project budgets and identify commercial risks and opportunities.
* Manage change control, compensation events and contractual matters.
* Ensure robust commercial governance throughout the project lifecycle.
* Build and maintain strong working relationships with project stakeholders.
* Support the successful delivery of project objectives relating to cost, programme and quality.
* Ensure compliance with company commercial procedures and contractual obligations.

* Excellent cost reporting, forecasting and financial management skills.
* Experience managing subcontractor accounts and procurement activities.
* Strong communication and stakeholder management capabilities.

* Groundworks
* Earthworks
* Enabling Works
* Drainage
* Civil Engineering Infrastructure

* Energy
* Rail
* Utilities
* Industrial Construction
* Advanced Manufacturing
* Major Commercial Developments
Candidates from Tier 1 contractors and major infrastructure businesses are strongly encouraged to apply.
Qualifications
* Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or a related discipline.
* Professional membership (MRICS or equivalent) would be advantageous but is not essential.
* Strong understanding of construction contracts and commercial management processes.
Salary & Benefits
* £80,000–£110,000 basic salary
* Company vehicle or vehicle allowance
* Performance-related bonus
* Comprehensive benefits package
* Accommodation provided for candidates relocating or travelling from outside the local area
* Opportunity to work on one of the UK's flagship hyperscale data centre developments
* Long-term career progression with a rapidly growing international contractor
* Exposure to a substantial pipeline of future data centre, infrastructure and mission-critical projects across the UK and Europe
Why Apply?
This is a rare opportunity to join a market-leading contractor on one of the UK's most significant construction projects at a pivotal stage of delivery.
Whether your background is in data centres, infrastructure, major civils or groundworks, you'll be joining a business with an outstanding project portfolio, a strong order book and genuine opportunities for progression as it continues to expand across the mission-critical sector.
