Working at the heart of a nationally significant programme, you will lead the development and execution of commercial strategies from concept through to contract award, ensuring best value, robust governance and successful project delivery. You'll influence senior stakeholders, lead a high-performing commercial team and play a pivotal role in delivering complex engineering and infrastructure programmes.

This is a career-defining position for an experienced commercial professional who thrives in fast-paced, high-profile environments and wants to make a genuine impact.

• A track record of developing commercial strategies that deliver value and manage risk.
• Outstanding leadership, stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.
