The Business

A well-established, privately owned main contractor with a strong and growing presence across the Midlands. They deliver schemes across industrial & logistics, commercial, data centres, and retail - typically ranging from £10m to £100m+ in value.

This is a business with a healthy forward order book, a fantastic senior team, and a reputation for delivering quality work for repeat clients. They're expanding their civils capability and this is a newly created role as a result of that growth.

* Procurement and vetting of groundworks and civils subcontractors, including tender analysis and negotiation

* Commercial management of specialist groundworks packages of significant value across live schemes

* Valuations, variations, change management and cost reporting throughout the project lifecycle

* Post-completion final accounts — both live and historic packages

* Liaising closely with site, project and pre-construction teams to manage risk, programme and cost

* Building and maintaining relationships with the groundworks and civils supply chain

* Supporting the wider commercial team on civils-related matters across the Midlands portfolio
