The Senior Commercial Manager will lead a team, ensuring standardised methodologies are adhered to for project margin maintenance and variance reporting. This role involves managing major utility projects and complex novated Clancy projects, with a focus on maximising project profitability and maintaining financial oversight.

You will be tasked with a number of responsibilities that include:

  2. Attending bid meetings to identify potential commercial issues and contribute to bid pack costings.
  3. Collaborating with Sales and Finance to review complex cash flow forecasts.
  4. Conducting final project checks before handover and implementing handover meetings.
  5. Developing procedures to clarify project inclusions and exclusions.
  6. Implementing new procedures for aged purchase orders and mandatory variations.
  7. Providing feedback to senior directors on business-impacting issues.
  8. Collaborating with Finance Business Partner to unlock revenue opportunities and rationalise costs.
  9. Assisting Credit Control in debt recovery.
  10. Implementing a peer-review system for quality assurance.
  11. Providing training and guidance to team members for flexibility and absence cover.
  12. Reviewing non-standard contractual terms to protect the business.
  13. Instigating commercial procedures and training for specific contracts.
  14. Ensuring project billings and variations are up to date and embedded as business as usual.
  15. Passing on industry knowledge and collaborating with Operations and Finance to hold Project Managers/Engineers accountable for project margins.

This role offers a unique platform for a driven individual to lead and innovate within a thriving independent multi-utility connections provider.

If you are ready to take the next step in your career and make a tangible difference, with a good salary and prospects, this position is for you.
