Director - Commercial Delivery

Lead the commercial and delivery strategy of a £200m infrastructure programme for one of Europe's leading logistics property owners.

Procter Street is working in partnership with SEGRO to deliver a major freight distribution centre development in Radlett.

As part of the client-side leadership team, we are looking for an experienced Director to take senior responsibility across a £200m programme of NEC packages, encompassing earthworks, utilities and highways. The role carries a clear commercial focus, combined with the operational and delivery experience needed to lead major civil engineering works with authority.

This is an opportunity to join a high-profile infrastructure project and play a key role in supporting SEGRO through the delivery of one of its significant logistics developments.

As Director, you will provide senior client-side leadership across the infrastructure and enabling works packages, working closely with SEGRO, the project team, consultants and the appointed main contractor to secure successful commercial, contractual and delivery outcomes.

You will lead the commercial strategy for the programme, ensuring effective control of cost, risk, change and contractual performance, while bringing the practical delivery experience needed to understand what is happening on site and to challenge the contractor with credibility. The role will require someone who can operate confidently at board and senior stakeholder level while maintaining a strong grasp of the realities of major infrastructure delivery.

You will be working across NEC contract packages with a combined value of approximately £200m, covering:

• Major earthworks and groundworks
• Highways and infrastructure
• Utilities and associated diversions
• Enabling and site infrastructure works
• Interface management with the wider development

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing overall commercial leadership and developing the programme commercial strategy
• Leading commercial governance, cost management, forecasting and senior-level reporting
• Managing contractual strategy, administration and performance under NEC
• Leading change control, compensation events, claims and dispute avoidance
• Managing commercial risk and identifying opportunities to improve project outcomes
• Leading commercial negotiations with contractors, consultants and other stakeholders
• Supporting procurement and contract strategy for remaining packages
• Managing contractor and supply chain performance across commercial, programme and quality
• Providing operational oversight of delivery, programme and interfaces, ensuring works are delivered safely, efficiently and to the required standard
• Supporting project leadership in programme, risk and delivery decisions

Working on behalf of SEGRO, you will help the client manage the appointed contractor and ensure the works are delivered safely, efficiently, commercially and to the required quality and programme.
