About our Commercial Services Team pOur Commercial Services team delivers a wide variety of work across our entire Water & Maritime business line, with assistance also provided to our other business lines [Industry & Buildings, and Mobility & Infrastructure]. While based in the UK, our team supports projects globally, and because of this and our continued success with our clients, we are looking to expand the team to maintain our current growth and build upon our current offerings.

pWorking in the Commercial Services team means being willing to use your existing knowledge and think outside of the box, finding solutions for our clients with complex contractual problems, to developing detailed estimates for highly bespoke projects in remote parts of the world. Working with Engineering teams around the world creates a unique opportunity to share information and knowledge, creating a huge opportunity for personal growth as well as growing the team and business.

pDue to this unique mix of domestic and international projects, team members are flexible in their approach to working and can work around the challenges of working globally. The commercial team regularly provides support to clients in different time zones, creating opportunity and challenges.

pAs a result of the diversity of work the Commercial Services team is involved in, finding the right person that fits the team is more important to us than finding a person that fits a defined grade or role.
