Ready to Lead 100m+ National Frameworks in a Critical Infrastructure Environment?

If you're a commercially astute leader who thrives on complexity, influence and delivering measurable results - this is your opportunity to step into a role where your strategy directly shapes multi-million-pound performance across the UK.

A leading UK infrastructure and facilities management organisation is seeking a Principal Commercial Manager to take strategic ownership of a nationally significant Nuclear Restoration Services contract within its Complex Facilities division.

This is not a maintenance-level commercial role.
This is senior leadership with real influence.

You'll work remotely, with extensive travel across UK contract sites and regional offices - giving you direct impact where it matters most.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As Principal Commercial Manager, you will:

• Lead and own the commercial strategy across a high-value framework
• Ensure governance, legislative and contractual compliance
• Drive recovery of contractual entitlement and maximise margin
• Build senior client relationships that support delivery and future growth
• Oversee CVR, cost planning, budgeting, WIP and financial control
• Manage bonds, PCGs and governance obligations
• Support strategic bids and ensure seamless transition into delivery
• Lead mobilisation of new contracts
• Shape supply chain strategy and strengthen subcontractor performance
• Recruit, develop and mentor high-performing teams
• Proactively prevent, manage and resolve commercial disputes

You won't just manage commercial processes.
You'll define commercial direction.

Who This Role Is Built For

You'll stand out if you:

• Have delivered commercial strategy on complex service-based contracts
• Have managed or influenced portfolios exceeding 100m+
• Bring experience across multi-site, high-compliance environments
• Hold a Degree or Masters in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or similar
• Understand UK Government support service frameworks
• Have deep knowledge of standard forms of contract
• Are a confident negotiator and senior stakeholder influencer
• Have strong supply chain management capability
• Know how to build and lead high-performing teams
• Are financially rigorous and commercially decisive

If you bring most of this experience - even if not every element - we still encourage you to apply. Development support is available for exceptional talent.

What You'll Gain

This organisation operates long-term, stable contracts - giving you security and the ability to build a lasting career.

You'll benefit from:

• Competitive salary with annual review potential
• Clear progression pathways into executive commercial leadership
• Fully funded leadership and development programmes
• Minimum 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with option to buy more)
• Generous pension contributions
• Flexible and hybrid working options
• Tailored flexible benefits (insurance, Cycle2Work, gym discounts)
• Retail and healthcare discount platforms
• Two paid volunteering days per year
• Family-friendly policies and inclusive employee networks
