We’re looking for a sharp, proactive Commercial Manager to lead the commercial and surveying responsibilities for large-scale sites, ensuring cost control, managing budgets, and driving value engineering. This is an exciting, fast-paced role at the heart of our operations, where you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality homes at the best possible cost.

As part of our Commercial team (Estimators, Quantity Surveyors, and Material Buyers), you’ll be responsible for managing costs across multiple sites (200+ units), preparing tenders, controlling budgets, and ensuring compliance with company policies and regulations. You’ll work closely with sub-contractors, manage procurement processes, and support your team with training and mentorship.

Key Responsibilities:

• Control cost procedures, manage budgets, and ensure valuations are accurate and up-to-date.

• Lead value engineering to ensure projects remain cost-effective while meeting design objectives.

• Prepare reports and financial documents, and present commercial positions at project meetings.

• Oversee procurement, sub-contractor management, and ensure compliance with Group policies.

• Train, mentor, and manage your team, helping them grow and thrive in their roles.

• Stay ahead of the market with knowledge of new materials, methods, and regulations (NHBC, Building Regs, etc.).

• Collaborate with teams across departments to maintain project budgets and timelines.

What You’ll Need:

• HND qualification (or higher) in a relevant field and a valid CSCS card.

• Proven experience in a similar role (ideally as a Quantity Surveyor in housebuilding).

• Strong knowledge of current market rates, construction methods, and regulations.

• Highly numerate with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage budgets and valuations effectively.

• Strong IT skills, including project management and payment systems (e.g., COINS).

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive under pressure in a fast-moving environment.

• Leadership experience, with the ability to manage, mentor, and motivate a team.

• Solid understanding of cost control, budgeting, and value engineering processes.

If you’re looking for a dynamic role where you can make an impact, grow your career, and help us deliver the best homes at the best value, we’d love to hear from you.
