Job Description
The Opportunity
Our client is a manufacturing business, based in Glasgow who supply the UK construction sector. They are a key division of a wider international group, and are seeking a Commercial Manager to lead a strategic overhaul of their commercial operations. They are a business with a massive footprint and a strong pipeline for the 2026 financial year.
Reporting directly to the Head of Commercial, this is a newly created role designed for a "bonnet-lifter"-someone who can dissect our processes, identify where we are leaking value, and implement a more commercially astute framework for the future.
The Mission
You will be tasked with:
* Post-Project Analysis: Transitioning the business from "quote and carry out" to a model of rigorous commercial review and value engineering.
* Strategic Resource Management: Identifying and solving bottlenecks
* System Innovation: Working with our dedicated AI division to develop and coordinate bespoke programs that analyse existing productivity and project profitability.
* Future Team Building: Once established, you will play a lead role in hiring your support team, likely a Commercial Administrator or Trainee QS.
Who You Are
This is not a traditional "run of the mill" QS role...
