An established multidisciplinary construction consultancy is seeking an ambitious Commercial Director to spearhead the continued development of their Central London presence. Working across a broad range of sectors, this appointment offers an experienced Commercial Director the opportunity to take ownership of regional growth, strengthen existing relationships and create a high-performing London-based team.

The successful Commercial Director will combine strong commercial leadership with a proven ability to generate new business. Rather than stepping into a purely operational position, the Commercial Director will be given the platform to expand the consultancy's profile across London, identify new opportunities and convert established industry relationships into long-term instructions.

Alongside work winning, the Commercial Director will oversee key client commissions and ensure the consultancy continues to provide a high standard of commercial and cost management advice. As the London operation develops, the Commercial Director will also play a central role in recruitment, mentoring and building the team required to support future growth. This is particularly well suited to a commercially driven Commercial Director who has an established London network and wants genuine influence over the direction of an office rather than simply inheriting an existing portfolio.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Developing and delivering a growth strategy for the Central London office
  • Winning new commissions across a diverse range of property and construction sectors
  • Building relationships with developers, investors, occupiers and wider industry stakeholders
  • Leading fee proposals, pitches and client presentations
  • Providing senior commercial and cost consultancy advice on key projects
  • Identifying new markets, clients and service opportunities
  • Recruiting, managing and developing a growing London team
  • Maintaining strong standards of client service and commercial performance

Candidate Requirements:

  • Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or a related construction discipline
  • MRICS qualified or equivalent professional standing
  • Extensive UK cost consultancy or professional Quantity Surveying experience
  • Proven business development and work-winning track record within the London market
  • Established network of clients and industry contacts
  • Strong commercial judgement with experience managing senior client relationships
  • Previous leadership, recruitment and team development experience
  • Entrepreneurial approach with the ability to build and grow a consultancy presence

In Return:

  • £100,000 - £125,000 per annum
  • Central London location
  • Significant autonomy over the growth of the London office
  • Opportunity to build and lead your own team
  • Broad sector exposure and senior client responsibility
  • Genuine influence over long-term business strategy
