The Role & Client Context
- Active commercial fit-out and construction programmes already in delivery
- Cost positions under pressure from programme change, scope movement, or historic decisions
- Client expects commercial clarity, not commentary

This role exists to reassert control where it matters.
THE CRITICAL MANDATE
Risk & Focus
- You will step into live projects with legacy issues already in play.
- Cost positions require rebuilding, not reporting.
- Claims, variations, and commercial leverage must be handled with judgement, not aggression.
There is no clean reset. Progress comes from disciplined recovery and calm negotiation.
THE LONG-TERM FIT
Growth & Impact
- Long-term ownership of commercial strategy across complex programmes
- Trusted voice with both client and delivery leadership
- Increasing influence over risk management, procurement strategy, and recovery planning
This mandate suits commercial operators who are comfortable being accountable when the numbers matter.
