London / Surrey | Hybrid Working
An opportunity to make a real impact on a nationally significant project.
We’re looking for an experienced Commercial Manager to join a leading global consultancy on a major, multi-million-pound programme transforming a Central Government campus in the London/Surrey area.
This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a diverse, redevelopment programme at a site of international scientific importance, delivering enabling works, infrastructure and building projects within a complex, live operational environment.

The Role
You’ll work closely with the wider programme delivery team, providing commercial and contractual expertise across multiple work packages, from post-contract award through to final account.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing commercial and contractual activities in accordance with NEC3 or NEC4 ECC contracts.
- Building strong relationships with clients, suppliers and programme stakeholders.
- Managing interim payments, payment certificates and final accounts.
- Assessing, negotiating and managing compensation events and the financial impact of instructed changes.
- Supporting cost management, forecasting, budget control and expenditure planning.
- Producing cost reports, financial analysis and performance data to support effective decision-making.
- Undertaking cost impact analysis of proposed scope and programme changes.
- Supporting procurement, contract administration, benchmarking and value management.
- Identifying opportunities to improve commercial performance, efficiency and value for money.

You’ll ideally have:
- Experience in a Commercial Management or Cost Management role within the construction sector.
- Strong working knowledge of NEC3 or NEC4 ECC contracts — essential for this position.
- Experience delivering large-scale public sector schemes and managing multiple work packages from design through to completion.
- Excellent stakeholder management and negotiation skills, with the confidence to engage at director level.

- A degree in a relevant construction-related discipline and a relevant professional qualification, or be working towards one.
