Senior Commercial Manager (FIDIC)
We are seeking a Senior Commercial Manager with strong experience in FIDIC contracts to lead the commercial management of major construction, infrastructure, or engineering projects. The successful candidate will provide strategic commercial guidance throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring contractual compliance, effective risk management, and the protection of commercial interests. This role requires a confident professional who can operate at both strategic and operational levels, working closely with project, legal, finance, procurement, and technical teams.
Key responsibilities will include administering FIDIC contracts, reviewing and interpreting contractual provisions, managing contractual notices, and overseeing claims, variations, extensions of time, and associated cost impacts. You will prepare and evaluate commercial reports, budgets, forecasts, payment applications, and final accounts, while monitoring project performance against agreed financial and contractual objectives. The role will also involve identifying commercial risks and opportunities, developing mitigation strategies, supporting negotiations, and ensuring that all records and correspondence are accurately maintained. You will provide guidance to project teams on contract procedures and help resolve disputes through effective communication and timely escalation.
Applicants should hold a degree in quantity surveying, commercial management, construction management, engineering, law, or a related discipline, together with substantial experience in a senior commercial role on complex projects. In-depth knowledge of FIDIC contract forms and practical experience with claims, variations, payment mechanisms, and dispute avoidance are essential. Strong commercial awareness, negotiation skills, and the ability to interpret detailed contractual and financial information are required. Professional membership of a recognised industry body, such as RICS, CIOB, or an equivalent organisation, would be advantageous. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities in a demanding project environment are also essential.
