- Manage a payments system for the payment of sub-contractors, consultants and the supply of goods and materials in line with Group policy and procedures.
- Ensure the Commercial are fully resourced and well-directed, with clear guidelines to their own job responsibilities, and are provided with full support in achieving these, in terms of communication, training and development, and the organisation of the department’s workload.
- Appropriate reporting to the MD and Divisional Board in line with the standard format and schedule.
- Promote and act in accordance with Group values, systems, policies and procedures.

- Proven track record in similar role or at the level of Snr / Chief Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager.
- Highly numerate, able to gather, interpret and present data to facilitate modelling for development.

- Self-confident, decisive, resilient and able to thrive under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
- A lateral and innovative thinker, an original problem-solver.
- A motivational team-leader focused on managing, coaching and developing the Commercial to achieve their full potential.
