Description:
Commercial Manager – Flooring / Tiling / Construction
Location: London / South East
Salary: £75,000 – £85,000 DOE
Employment: Permanent
Clear Progression to Director available
Hawkes are working with an established and growing contractor looking to appoint an experienced Commercial Manager to take ownership of the commercial function within the business.
We’re looking for someone commercially sharp, proactive and confident who can work closely with the senior management team while providing strong commercial leadership across multiple projects.
The ideal candidate could come from a flooring, tiling, interiors or specialist subcontractor background, although we would also be very interested in speaking with Commercial Managers or experienced Senior Quantity Surveyors from a main contractor environment.
The Role
You’ll take responsibility for the commercial performance of projects from pre-construction through to final account, ensuring margins are protected and commercial risks are identified and managed properly.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Leading the commercial function across multiple projects
* Managing project costs, budgets, forecasts and cash flow
* Preparing and agreeing valuations, variations and final accounts
* Reviewing contracts and identifying commercial risks
* Managing subcontractor and supplier accounts
* Working closely with project and operational teams
* Building strong relationships with clients and negotiating where required
* Providing accurate commercial reporting to the directors
* Helping improve commercial processes as the business continues to grow
The Person
We’re not looking for someone who simply processes numbers. The business needs somebody who is dynamic, commercially switched on and comfortable taking ownership.
You’ll ideally have:
* Strong Quantity Surveying / Commercial Management experience
* Main contractor, flooring, tiling, interiors or specialist subcontractor experience
* Good contractual and commercial knowledge
* Strong negotiation and communication skills
* The confidence to challenge when necessary while maintaining good client relationships
* The ability to lead the commercial element of a growing business
There is genuine scope for the right person to become an important part of the senior management team and progress further as the business grows.
Salary £75,000 – £85,000 depending on experience and background.
