The Commercial Manager Opportunity
Expanded Structures, the specialist reinforced concrete basement, substructure and superstructure frame construction division of Laing O'Rourke, is recruiting a Commercial Manager to join the team in Suffolk.
You'll be part of Sizewell C, a once-in-a-generation project that will deliver clean energy to 6 million homes for the next 60 years. The 3.2-gigawatt nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast will provide reliable low-carbon electricity.
The Civil Works Alliance is an extended delivery enterprise involving Sizewell C, Balfour Beatty, Bouygues Travaux Publics and Laing O'Rourke, bringing together a single delivery organisation with extensive experience from major, complex infrastructure programmes.

What will the role look like?
- Manage commercial activities across your project section from pre-construction through to completion.
- Take responsibility for financial, contractual and commercial performance, including cost, forecasting, risk and opportunity.
- Manage major subcontract packages, including procurement, administration, change, accounts and claims.
- Lead change control and ensure commercial risks and opportunities are identified, managed and mitigated.
- Prepare monthly cost reports, contract reviews, BPR information and business planning inputs.
- Provide commercial and contractual advice to project teams, clients and supply chain partners.
- Maintain robust commercial governance, reporting and contract compliance.
- Identify and escalate issues that may impact project or business performance.
- Support continuous improvement and consistent commercial best practice.
- Provide guidance and support to the wider Commercial team.
