Senior Quantity Surveyor / Commercial Manager – Electricity Networks
Yorkshire and North East England
Competitive Package + Car/Allowance + Benefits
Commercial Talent Solutions is recruiting for a fast-growing national power infrastructure contractor looking to strengthen its Networks commercial team across Yorkshire and North East England.
The position will take commercial responsibility for a regional portfolio of electricity-distribution schemes. The work includes substations, underground cabling, overhead lines, asset replacement, maintenance and associated civil engineering.
This is a broad, autonomous role rather than responsibility for one individual project. You will work closely with the regional operational leadership team, providing commercial direction across a number of live schemes and helping ensure contracts are properly understood, administered and commercially controlled.
The appointment could suit either an established Commercial Manager or a strong Senior Quantity Surveyor ready to take on wider responsibility.
