Work closely with estimating, project management and delivery teams to ensure the commercial position reflects what is actually happening on the project.
Drive final accounts and make sure commercial issues are resolved rather than carried from one project to the next.

Experience managing valuations, variations, applications for payment and final accounts.
Confidence dealing directly with clients, subcontractors and project teams.
The ability to identify commercial risk, protect margins and challenge decisions when required.
Experience taking ownership of projects and being accountable for the commercial outcome.
Why this opportunity stands outUp to 85,000 depending on experience.
A genuine senior commercial position with ownership of your projects.
The opportunity to work on significant structural steel projects within the London market.
Direct exposure to senior decision-makers and key commercial discussions.
A strong project pipeline providing long-term stability.
The chance to join a business where your commercial experience will have a direct impact rather than simply becoming another name on the payroll.
