Description
Joining Arup
Arup's purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world.
Arup’s EWR North Commercial Management team brings specialist expertise in commercial and contract management across major infrastructure programmes and frameworks. We provide commercial governance, contract administration, and financial and risk management support across complex projects and delivery models. We are trusted to support the delivery of major infrastructure frameworks such as Sellafield IDP, United Utilities AMP8 frameworks, Environment Agency CDF and other key national programmes.
The Opportunity
Due to continued business growth and development, we are looking for a Project Commercial Manager to play a key role within our project management team in the north of the UK. You will work across Energy, Water, and Resources projects, supporting wider infrastructure delivery. Ideally you will have experience working within multidisciplinary teams, with a collaborative approach and the ability to support and provide guidance to junior team members
We are seeking a candidate with curiosity, strong personal drive, and technical expertise. Experience within the UK energy, water, civil engineering, or transport sectors is desirable, alongside an understanding of the design project lifecycle from feasibility through to delivery.
With an increase in design and build (D&B) work, additional commercial capacity is required to effectively manage commercial risk and support successful project delivery. The role will support Project Managers and Project Directors in commercial management activities and contribute to the development and implementation of best practice across our services in collaboration with commercial leadership.
You will be required to support project commercial negotiations, manage fee reconciliations and applications, and review contracts. You will also provide commercial advice and guidance to bid and project managers. The role is not limited to these responsibilities and may evolve to meet the needs of the business and support continuous improvement across projects.
There is also potential for future progression into commercial leadership roles on major projects and contributing to best practice across the UK region.
Is this role right for you?
