Job Description

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

£120,000 – £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

Referral Bonus

• Refer a suitable candidate and receive £500 in retail vouchers upon successful placement.
