Location: Grantham, Lincolnshire
Companies: JRL Brickwork Ltd & Amberly Construction
Are you commercially sharp, ambitious, and ready to make your mark?
We’re looking for the first commercially minded hire to join our growing construction businesses — JRL Brickwork and Amberly Construction. This isn’t a “fill the seat” role. We want someone who can bring experience, ideas, and drive to build the commercial function from the ground up.
Overview
Why this role is different
* You won’t be walking into a rigid structure or replacing someone else.
* This is a blank canvas for you to create systems, shape processes, and put your stamp on how our businesses handle estimating, cost control, and commercial management.
* You’ll work directly with the MD and leadership team, making a real impact across two well-established construction brands.
What you’ll be doing
* Leading on estimating and QS duties across projects (brickwork packages, one-off builds, refurbishments, and more).
* Creating systems to support the accounts team with valuations, payments, and reporting.
* Developing a commercial department — bringing structure, control, and long-term strategy.
* Working with clients, suppliers, and our in-house team to drive value and profitability.
* Identifying opportunities for efficiencies and improvements across both businesses.
What we’re looking for
* Strong knowledge of the construction/building trade.
* Background as a QS, Estimator, or Commercial Manager.
* A problem-solver with initiative — someone who doesn’t wait for a process to follow, but creates one.
* A good communicator who can work closely with site teams, accounts, and directors.
* Ambition — this role will grow with you.
What’s on offer
* Negotiable salary/package depending on experience and how well you fit into the team.
* A rare opportunity to step into a role with full autonomy and shape it yourself.
* Support from an experienced leadership team that values loyalty, hard work, and fresh ideas.
* The chance to be part of ambitious projects across Lincolnshire and beyond, from large brickwork contracts to high-spec new builds.
This role will suit someone who’s confident in their commercial skills but looking for a step up into leadership. If you’re the kind of person who thrives on building, not just maintaining — we want to hear from you.
