The business works extensively across the public sector, including healthcare, universities and other complex live environments, and is entering an important period of growth and transformation. This is a senior leadership opportunity reporting directly to the Managing Director and sitting on the Senior Leadership Team. You'll lead the Commercial, Procurement and Document Control functions, while playing a key role in strengthening commercial capability, improving processes and governance, and supporting the continued growth of the business. 📊 About the Position As Commercial Director, you'll lead a sizeable team, with four direct reports, and act as a key commercial partner to the wider leadership team. The business has grown quickly, and the processes and structures across the Commercial function now need to develop in line with the scale and complexity of the projects being delivered. This role will therefore have a strong transformation and process improvement focus, with the opportunity to build a more mature, consistent and commercially controlled function.

You'll have the opportunity to build that capability rather than simply inherit an established structure. Working closely with Operations and the wider leadership team, you'll shape how the Commercial function operates, improve commercial governance and help the business respond effectively to the increasing scale and complexity of its projects. For an experienced Commercial Director, Head of Commercial or Senior Commercial Manager ready to step up, this offers the opportunity to combine strategic influence with genuine hands-on responsibility and make a tangible impact on the commercial maturity of a growing energy and infrastructure business.
