Commercial Manager
Central London – 2 days hybrid working
Tier 1 Contractor | Hyperscale Data Centre Projects
We’re hiring a Commercial Manager to take ownership of a £200m data centre business unit within a leading Tier 1 contractor, overseeing a portfolio of 10 live projects across London and the UK.
This is a senior leadership role reporting directly into Group Commercial Director level, offering real influence across commercial strategy, delivery, and performance on some of the UK’s most complex hyperscale and mission-critical schemes.
You will also lead and develop a team of 5 Quantity Surveyors, setting commercial standards across multiple live projects while driving performance, governance, and profitability across the business unit.
Package
£130,000 – £135,000 basic salary plus:
• 2 days hybrid working per week
• Travel allowance
• Guaranteed bonus scheme
• Private healthcare
• Pension contribution
• 27 days annual leave + additional benefits
About the Role
• Lead commercial delivery across a £200m business unit spanning 10 live data centre and commercial projects
• Oversee full lifecycle commercial management including cost control, forecasting, procurement, subcontractor management, valuations, variations, and final accounts
• Manage, mentor, and develop a team of 5 Quantity Surveyors, driving consistency and best practice across all projects
• Partner closely with operational and project delivery teams to maximise value, manage risk, and improve commercial outcomes
• Contribute directly to senior leadership discussions on strategy, performance, and pipeline delivery
What We’re Looking For
• Experience working with a Tier 1 or leading main contractor (or MEP contractor)
• Proven track record delivering large-scale construction or MEP packages, ideally within data centres or mission-critical environments
• Strong command of JCT / NEC contracts and high-value project commercial management
• Confident leader with the ability to manage teams, influence stakeholders, and operate in a fast-paced delivery environment
Why This Role Stands Out
• Ownership of a £200m business unit within a high-growth, secured pipeline of hyperscale data centre work
• Genuine senior leadership responsibility with direct exposure to strategic decision-making
• Opportunity to shape and scale a commercial team within a flagship division of a Tier 1 contractor
• Strong progression pathway into broader senior commercial leadership roles
