Senior Commercial Manager You'll help major transportation programmes make better commercial decisions, manage risk earlier and deliver stronger outcomes for clients, communities and project teams. Your commercial judgement will influence projects from mobilisation through to final account. You'll give project leaders the confidence to act, protect commercial performance and find practical solutions when contractual or delivery challenges arise. Just as importantly, you'll help develop the people around you. By sharing your experience and setting clear commercial standards, you'll strengthen the capability of a wider team working across some of the UK's most complex highways, rail and aviation programmes. About the opportunity Our Transportation business supports clients across the full project lifecycle, from strategic planning and business case development through design, delivery and operational support. We're looking for a Senior Commercial Manager who can provide clear, commercially grounded leadership across a portfolio of major infrastructure projects. You'll work closely with project managers, technical teams, clients, delivery partners and suppliers. You'll shape commercial strategies, improve forecasting, protect margin and cash performance, lead contract change and negotiations, and make sure risks and opportunities are understood early enough to take meaningful action. You'll also support procurement, supply-chain relationships and the resolution of complex contractual issues. This is broader than a reporting or contract-administration position. You'll be trusted to influence important decisions, challenge constructively and improve how projects are commercially managed. Success will mean accurate forecasts, stronger commercial outcomes, well-managed contractual risk, trusted client relationships and a capable, engaged commercial team. Substantial commercial or contract management experience gained on major infrastructure, engineering, construction or similarly complex programmes.

Senior Commercial Manager You'll help major transportation programmes make better commercial decisions, manage risk earlier and deliver stronger outcomes for clients, communities and project teams. Your commercial judgement will influence projects from mobilisation through to final account. You'll give project leaders the confidence to act, protect commercial performance and find practical solutions when contractual or delivery challenges arise. Just as importantly, you'll help develop the people around you. By sharing your experience and setting clear commercial standards, you'll strengthen the capability of a wider team working across some of the UK's most complex highways, rail and aviation programmes. About the opportunity Our Transportation business supports clients across the full project lifecycle, from strategic planning and business case development through design, delivery and operational support.

You'll also support procurement, supply-chain relationships and the resolution of complex contractual issues. This is broader than a reporting or contract-administration position. You'll be trusted to influence important decisions, challenge constructively and improve how projects are commercially managed. Success will mean accurate forecasts, stronger commercial outcomes, well-managed contractual risk, trusted client relationships and a capable, engaged commercial team.
