Commercial Manager

The Company:

We are working with a market leading building contractor whose head office is based in the North West of England.

From here they work nationally and secure work through a combination of procurement frameworks on which they have a great degree of success and a good proportion of their workload comes from negotiation with pre-existing clients.

Their profit margins are 3-4 times the industry norm, are cash-rich and have secured the majority of next years’ turnover already so are in a great place.

They are aware of their social responsibilities so encourage their staff to take part in volunteering days (both in the UK and abroad), provide gym membership and other wellbeing initiatives, work with colleges to encourage the next generation into the industry and provide electric vehicles with charging points at their office.

The Role:

They now have a new opportunity for someone to join their team at Commercial Manager level due to growth.

You will work closely and collaboratively with their clients from preconstruction through to handover, provide support and guidance to your QSs.
