This is a commercial leadership role designed with a longer-term view in mind.

You’ll step into a well-respected, mid-sized contractor that’s known for delivering schools, healthcare facilities, and civic buildings across the Midlands. The current Commercial Director is thinking ahead — and this hire is about more than plugging a gap. It’s about succession

That means you’ll be given the time, visibility, and autonomy to step into influence — not just delivery. The pipeline is steady, the culture is lean and collaborative, and the trust you’ll be given is real.

• Commercial oversight across a £30m+ annual project portfolio (typical schemes £3–10m)
• Mentoring and developing QSs within the team
• Leading on contract negotiation, claims strategy, and client-facing commercial conversations
• Helping shape the long-term commercial systems and culture as part of succession planning

You’ll have the backing of directors who still stay close to the projects — but are smart enough to give you space. There’s no ivory tower here — just a serious opportunity to shape something lasting.

• You’re not just a number. You’ll work with people who’ve built careers here and still enjoy coming in every day.
• The leadership is intentional. They’re not growing recklessly — they’re building sustainably.
• You’ll have a clear path. The succession plan is real. This isn’t a hollow title or a role parked in a corner.

• Are already operating as a Senior QS or Commercial Manager in the building sector
• Know how to lead, but are still willing to get stuck into the detail when needed
• Want more influence — but don’t want the politics of a top-heavy corporate
• Care about doing things properly and leaving things better than you found them
