That’s why we need you, to help us deliver some of the biggest infrastructure projects in the South!

Following a number of significant contract awards, including major programmes with Portsmouth Water and the Andover Link Main project, we're looking for an experienced Commercial Manager to join our Civil Engineering team.

This is an opportunity to take a leading role on high-profile projects that will help shape and improve critical infrastructure for local communities. You'll work alongside experienced operational leaders, build strong client relationships, and provide commercial leadership across a growing portfolio of work.

If you're motivated by making an impact, developing talented people, and influencing the commercial success of major projects, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role...

You'll lead a dynamic commercial team and play a key role in the successful delivery of some of our most exciting projects in the South. Working closely with operational teams and our clients, you'll drive commercial performance, manage risk, maximise profitability, and help shape the long-term success of the business.

You'll sit at the heart of our operations, providing strategic commercial leadership across multiple contracts while supporting the delivery of our wider business objectives.

• Shaping and implementing commercial strategies to drive performance and profitability
• Managing budgets, cost controls, and overall financial performance
• Overseeing contract negotiations and securing commercially favourable terms
• Leading cost value reconciliation processes and effective cash flow management
• Resolving complex contractual matters, including claims and disputes
• Ensuring subcontractor agreements are commercially sound and aligned with business objectives

We would love to hear from you if you can demonstrate...

You are an experienced commercial professional with a strong background in commercial management within the utilities sector. You will have significant leadership experience, with a proven ability to manage, mentor, and develop high-performing commercial teams.

You will bring a deep understanding of NEC3 contracts, particularly Options A and C, supported by strong financial and commercial acumen. You will be confident managing project profitability and risk, with excellent analytical, negotiation, planning, and problem-solving skills.

Additionally, you will be a clear and confident communicator, capable of presenting complex commercial information to stakeholders at all levels.
