Commercial Manager

Are you an experienced Commercial professional looking to expand your skills and experience?

Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.

Which is why we are investing over £2billion into construction projects over the next five years to improve the services we provide.

Within our Capital Commercial Department, we are looking for Commercial Managers at all levels to join our team and help lead our Commercial teams. This role can be based from any of our capital hubs in Shrewsbury, Derby or Coventry.

Are you a Commercial Manager looking for something new? Perhaps you are a Senior Quantity Surveyor looking for a step up?

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

As a Commercial Manager, you will work collaboratively with our project management functions on multiple projects providing pre and post contract expertise. You will manage a team of commercial quantity surveyors, work with the in-house delivery team, negotiate and finalise work orders, prices and terms with our supply chain and run tenders and negotiations. You will validate, test and challenge the costs associated with projects, ensure contract administration is administered correctly and draft and support contract awards.

What You’ll Bring To The Role

Ideally degree qualified and/ or RICS accredited, you will be an experienced commercial professional with extensive experience in the NEC suite of contracts. You will have the ability to provide various teams with contractual advice and a significant level of experience in change control and dispute resolution. Ideally you will have some experience in the water or wider utilities industry, however this is not essential.

You will be a dynamic and collaborative individual with excellent communication and influencing skills. You will have a strong ability to build successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds, and hold a relentless drive for continuous improvement, with the ability to innovate and anticipate unexpected issues and challenges as they arise.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?

We do more, because we care.
