We are recruiting for a number of Assistant Commercial Manager opportunities across London, supporting major infrastructure, facilities management, engineering and asset-based contracts.

You will provide commercial and contract support across a portfolio of live contracts, working closely with Commercial Managers and internal and external stakeholders. The roles are primarily post-contract focused, although candidates with end-to-end pre- and post-contract experience are welcome.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Pre & Post-Contract Experience
