About The Role

I am working with a growing contractor based in Renfrewshire delivering a range of construction and refurbishment projects across the West of Scotland. We are seeking a Commercial Manager to oversee the commercial function of the business and manage a small commercial team. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is commercially aware, organised, and capable of managing multiple projects while supporting and developing junior commercial staff.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing the commercial performance of multiple construction projects
  • Overseeing and supporting a small team of Quantity Surveyors/Estimators
  • Preparing, reviewing, and negotiating subcontract agreements
  • Monitoring project costs, valuations, variations, and final accounts
  • Managing client applications and payment processes
  • Producing monthly cost/value reconciliation reports
  • Identifying commercial risks and opportunities across projects
  • Working closely with operational teams to ensure projects are delivered within budget
  • Assisting with tender reviews and procurement activities
  • Maintaining strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and suppliers

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

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.
