Base pay range
Great British Energy-Nuclear (GBE-N) is a new government arm's length body supporting the delivery of Britain's energy security and net zero, making sure that we can power Britain from Britain sustainably. It has been set up to turn nuclear ambition into reality.
GBE-N's first step was to start the technology selection process for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). SMRs can potentially be quicker to deploy and less expensive to build than traditional nuclear power plants because they are smaller, have factory based modular manufacturing, and more flexible deployment options.
GBE-N is aiming to deliver fast, based on a supportive and collaborative culture which values equality and diversity and creates an inclusive workplace. It draws on deep nuclear expertise - its Executive Committee has over 100 years of nuclear experience in this country and abroad. And it can unlock billions of pounds of private and public investment from design to operation, helping to get sites ready for development, and working to grow manufacturing capacity and skills capability.
Job profile:
GBN is seeking an experienced Commercial Manager to lead procurement and commercial strategy for the civil engineering and construction elements of our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Programme-worth over £1bn across a 10-12 year span.
In this high-impact role, you'll:
* Develop and deliver procurement strategies for major civils contracts.
* Oversee commercial activity across the full lifecycle-from strategy to contract award.
* Collaborate with stakeholders across legal, finance, and technical teams.
* Manage procurement processes, commercial assurance, and supplier engagement.
* Lead or support a small team, including Assistant Commercial Managers.
Key responsibilities:
* Shaping commercial strategies, sourcing plans, and payment models to ensure value for money.
* Managing end-to-end procurement processes-from market engagement to contract award and mobilisation.
* Overseeing commercial governance, assurance, and business case development (OBC/FBC).
* Leading market analysis to inform procurement decisions and drive competition.
* Supporting commercial policy development and continuous improvement.
* Task-managing Assistant Commercial Managers and collaborating across legal, finance, and technical teams.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience:
* Experience in commercial and procurement roles within nuclear, construction, or major infrastructure programmes.
* Strong knowledge of NEC contracts, public sector procurement (PCR/Procurement Act), and government approvals (HMT Green Book).
* Skilled in cost modelling, business case development, and contract negotiation.
* Proven ability to manage teams, influence stakeholders, and deliver under pressure.
* Excellent communication, planning, and organisational skills.
* Familiarity with CCS frameworks and agile, fast-paced environments (desirable).
