Join a Fast-Growing Family-Run Business Supporting Some of the UK's Most Recognisable Engineering and Infrastructure Projects
This is an opportunity to join a successful family-run business that has grown rapidly whilst retaining the close-knit culture that made it successful in the first place. With a team of around 40 employees, the business combines the agility and friendliness of an SME with the reputation and client portfolio of a much larger organisation.
Operating across the engineering, nuclear, infrastructure, aerospace and manufacturing sectors, the business delivers specialist asset protection, preservation and project support solutions for some of the world's most recognised organisations, including EDF, JCB and Jaguar Land Rover, alongside supporting major UK infrastructure programmes.
Following significant growth and the award of further major contracts, the business continues to expand and is now seeking a Commercial Business Manager to play a key role in supporting both project delivery and commercial performance.
The Opportunity
This is a highly varied role sitting at the intersection of projects, operations and finance.
Working closely with Project Managers, customers and suppliers, you will oversee the commercial and financial administration of projects from initial enquiry through to final invoicing. You'll be responsible for ensuring project costs are controlled, supplier spending is tracked accurately, quotations are produced efficiently and financial performance is clearly visible throughout the project lifecycle.
Projects typically range from £35,000 to £1 million, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys managing multiple priorities, analysing commercial data and ensuring the detail behind successful project delivery is managed effectively.
