Salary: £80,000 to £90,000

I'm supporting the search for a Procurement Manager or a Commercial Manager with pre contract experience to join a leading infrastructure consultancy. This is a key role focusing on front-end procurement and ongoing commercial management of civil engineering contracts. It's not a full procurement position - what's needed is someone with a strong grasp of procurement processes and solid commercial capability across both pre- and post-contract phases.
The ideal candidate will have infrastructure or utilities experience, but the team is open-minded on sector background.
Requirements:
- Proven procurement experience within rail, infrastructure, utilities, or similar sectors.
- Strong understanding of procurement processes and contract management.
- Exposure to civil engineering packages, specifically procuring civil contracts.
- Client facing experience with excellent stakeholder engagement skills.
- Chartered status (RICS or CIPS) preferred.
- Comfortable working 2-3 days per week from London.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage the procurement and commercial lifecycle of major civil contracts
- Support pre-contract strategy, tender processes, and post-award commercial control
- Liaise with technical and delivery teams to ensure commercial alignment
- Contribute to risk and cost assessments, contract drafting, and stakeholder reporting
- Provide input to contract negotiations and supplier engagement
My client is prepared to interview immediately, ideally seeking candidates with a notice period under 3 months.
This will likely be a 3 stage interview process, including one with their client.
