đ Genuine progression | Direct exposure to senior leadership
Weâre partnering with a growing, owner-led workplace design & build business in Central London to find an ambitious Commercial Manager who wants to build a serious career in the commercial side of construction.
This isnât a role where youâll disappear into a large commercial team.
Youâll work closely with the Founder and senior team, taking real ownership across estimating, cost planning and pre-construction while getting exposure to the full journey of creative commercial fit-out projects.
For someone early in their career who is commercially sharp, confident with numbers and hungry to progress, thereâs a lot of opportunity here.
What youâll be doing:
- Producing detailed project cost plans and estimates
- Building cost breakdowns and budgets in Excel
- Obtaining and negotiating subcontractor and supplier quotations
- Reviewing briefs, drawings and project documentation
- Managing commercial viability throughout pre-construction
- Working closely with designers, consultants and subcontractors
- Supporting procurement schedules and pre-contract programmes
- Attending client meetings, presentations and site visits
- Helping ensure projects transition smoothly from enquiry to delivery
- Protecting project margins through accurate estimating and smart commercial decisions
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet â that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right â and where to focus when applying.
Who could be a great fit?
You might already have around 12â24 monthsâ experience within:
- Quantity Surveying
- Estimating
- Pre-Construction
- Commercial Management
- Construction / Commercial Fit-Out
But we're not interested in ruling out talented people because their CV doesn't follow the traditional route.
If youâre analytical, commercially minded, excellent with Excel and genuinely interested in construction, weâd still like to hear from you.
Youâll need to be organised, confident communicating with different stakeholders and comfortable taking responsibility. Most importantly, youâll have the appetite to learn quickly and grow with the business.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why consider it?
Youâll be joining a small, established and ambitious business where your contribution will be visible from day one.
There are no unnecessary layers, youâll work directly with decision-makers, get hands-on exposure to exciting workplace projects and have the opportunity to take on significantly more responsibility as the company grows.
If youâre looking for somewhere you can learn, take ownership and build a long-term commercial career, this could be a very good move.
