Commercial Manager

Major Nuclear Infrastructure Programme – Somerset

Are you a Senior Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager ready to take real ownership on one of the UK’s most complex and high‑profile infrastructure projects?

This is a chance to join a leading engineering and construction organisation delivering a critical package of works on a nationally significant nuclear programme. We are looking to appoint a high‑calibre commercial lead to strengthen the on‑site leadership team.

This role offers genuine autonomy, long‑term project security, and the chance to influence commercial outcomes at scale (not just administer them).

Why this role stands out

* High‑value, technically complex project environment

* Senior‑level influence across delivery, risk and profitability

* Flexible working patterns rarely offered at this level

* Fully supported by an established commercial leadership team

* Flagship / Major Project.

Salary, Benefits & Working Pattern

-Salary: Up to £85,000

-Car Allowance: £5,780

-Annual Leave: 26 days

-Working Pattern: Choose between a 9‑day fortnight or a standard 5‑day week

-Location: Predominantly site‑based (Somerset), with occasional office working

Benefits Package

* Private Healthcare: Individual cover from day one

* Life Assurance: 4 × annual salary

* Pension: 5.75% employer contribution from commencement

* Long‑term role on a flagship UK infrastructure programme

The Role

Reporting into senior commercial and operational leadership, you will act as the commercial authority for a major element of the project.

Your remit will include:

* Leading commercial and contractual strategy

* Full ownership of cost control, forecasting and reporting

* Preparation and agreement of client valuations

* Driving change management, variations and entitlement

* Managing commercial risk and contractual compliance

* Leading final account processes and negotiations

* Overseeing supply chain commercial performance

* Advising directors and project leadership on key commercial decisions

This is a role for someone who wants to shape outcomes, protect value, and influence direction, not simply follow process.

About You

You will be an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager with:

* A recognised qualification in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline

* Strong experience on large construction or infrastructure projects

* Practical knowledge of NEC and/or JCT contracts

* Confidence operating in high‑value, high‑risk environments

* The ability to engage credibly with senior stakeholders and directors

Experience in nuclear or regulated environments is advantageous but not essential because strong transferable experience is also considered.

The Opportunity

If you’re looking for:

* A step up in responsibility without stepping away from delivery

* Long‑term project security with a respected employer

* Flexibility that supports work‑life balance at senior level

This role offers a rare blend of challenge, stability, and progression
