I am recruiting on behalf of a key client—one of the UK’s leading main contractors, with a strong track record across both the Building and Infrastructure sectors. This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Commercial Director to take the commercial lead on a major project in Berkshire, with a contract value of approximately £500 million. In addition, the business is currently pursuing several other significant projects, with values extending into the billions, creating excellent long-term opportunities within the division.
The project sits within a specialist area of construction, involving the delivery of highly complex works in a sophisticated and classified infrastructure environment. However, given the nature and scope of the scheme, I am particularly interested in speaking with Commercial Directors and senior commercial leaders from a main contracting Building background.
The Business
- One of the UK’s most established and highly regarded main contractors
- A fast-growing business unit focused on delivering complex major projects
- A strong pipeline of high-value opportunities across the UK
- A high-performing division with an excellent leadership team
- A collaborative culture and working environment in which people are supported to succeed
The Ideal Candidate
- An experienced Commercial Director or senior commercial leader from the Building sector of main contracting - open to Infrastructure though
- Currently operating at either business-unit level or as the commercial lead on a major project
- A proven track record of leading large commercial teams and complex, high-value projects
- Strong pre-construction experience, including commercial strategy, procurement, risk and opportunity management
- Experience working under JCT Design
