Location - Farnham / Regional (Hampshire/Surrey border)
Salary - Up to £80k - £90k (Experience Dependent) + Package
About the Company
Our client is a regional powerhouse in the commercial & industrial interior sector, providing end-to-end consultancy, design, and turnkey fit-out solutions. Operating with a "local knowledge, national reach" mantra, they specialize in fast-track projects.
They are looking for a dual-role Pre-Contracts & Commercial Manager to join their regional team. This individual will be a key figure in the business, overseeing projects from the initial "win" through to final account, ensuring every square foot delivered is as profitable as it is aesthetically stunning.
About the Role
This is a high-impact position designed for a commercially astute professional who enjoys the "front end" of a project as much as the final delivery. You will be responsible for bridging the gap between a successful tender and a successful build, managing the financial health of multiple live schemes.
Key roles and responsibilities include:
*
Pre-Contract Management: Leading the transition from bid to site. You will review tender documents, refine budgets, and ensure the delivery team is fully briefed on the commercial nuances of the contract.
* Commercial Strategy: Taking full ownership of project financials. This includes cost reporting, managing variations, and ensuring cash flow is optimized across your portfolio of projects.
Procurement & Supply Chain: Vetting and appointing subcontractors. You’ll negotiate terms that protect the company’s interests while maintaining the high-quality standards the firm is known for.
*
Risk & Compliance: Identifying potential "contractual traps" early in the pre-construction phase. You will be responsible for mitigating financial risks and ensuring all projects adhere to strict H&S and building regulations.
*
Client Liaison: Acting as a senior commercial point of contact. You will build and maintain trust with clients, providing transparent financial updates and navigating complex negotiations with a solutions-focused mindset.
The Offer
In return for your expertise, our client offers a competitive salary of up to £90,000 per annum (dependent on the depth of your experience), alongside a comprehensive benefits package.
You’ll be joining a business that eschews the "corporate red tape" of larger contractors in favor of a flexible, agile, and expert-led environment. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on diverse projects within a company that truly values its people and their local expertise
