Overview:
We’re recruiting on behalf of a £100M engineering group with 18 autonomous business units spanning rotating machinery, electrical contracting, and utilities. This is a strategic, hands-on opportunity for a commercially minded professional to lead and embed best practice across a diverse and growing organisation.
The Role:
As Senior QS / Commercial Manager, you’ll be the group’s go-to expert for interpreting contracts, reducing risk, and embedding commercial discipline. You’ll work closely with business unit leaders to:
* Advise on contract interpretation and commercial decision-making
* Identify and mitigate risk exposure
* Develop and implement commercial processes
* Coach teams to improve strategic thinking and commercial awareness
This is not a traditional QS role—it’s focused on influence, education, and improvement, not pricing or valuations.
What We’re Looking For:
* Strong understanding of contract law and commercial risk
* Background in construction, engineering, or consultancy
* Clear, pragmatic communicator with strategic insight
* Comfortable working autonomously across varied teams and disciplines
Ideal candidates may come from a Quantity Surveying, claims consultancy, or legal background.
Package Includes:
* Grade B car (£640 allowance / £535 lease)
* Up to 10% annual bonus
* BUPA healthcare
* Gym membership
* 25 days holiday
* Pension scheme (4% / 6% / 8%)
