ISS Facility Services UK are now recruiting for an experienced Commercial/QS Manager to support their Central Projects Team in driving commercially focused project delivery across multiple client accounts.

This is a pivotal role where you will oversee the commercial lifecycle of projects, ensuring robust cost control, accurate change management, and strong contractual governance. With a clear emphasis on financial performance and commercial risk management, this position offers significant scope to influence project outcomes and long‑term operational success.

Working closely with senior leadership, you will act as the Commercial Subject Matter Expert for the business unit. You will support Project Managers with all QS and commercial matters, lead on contract negotiations, and ensure smooth, compliant project close‑out to final account stage.

The role requires a collaborative, partnership-driven approach when engaging with internal teams, clients, consultants, and supply chain partners. A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationwide are essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead commercial and QS support across PSPT project accounts, ensuring strong financial and budgetary control.
• Manage contract solutions for both upstream (client) and downstream (supply chain) agreements.
• Provide QS input into project cost proposals and pricing for works tendered with existing clients.
• Support commercial/QS content for PSPT account bids, including renewals and new business opportunities.
• Act as the focal point for internal commercial governance processes and compliance.
• Oversee financial and commercial data capture, reporting, and systems to achieve best‑in‑class standards.
• Manage and interpret industry‑standard and client‑specific contracts including JCT, NEC, and Framework Agreements.
• Offer leadership, guidance, and coaching to project and operational teams to strengthen commercial capability.

Person Specification

• Qualified Quantity Surveyor.
• Experience working in a fast‑paced environment delivering multiple projects simultaneously.
• Comfortable managing a lower‑value, higher‑volume portfolio of works.
• Strong customer service skills with the ability to build positive stakeholder relationships.
• Ambitious, proactive, and delivery‑focused.
• Proven track record in similar commercial/QS roles.
• Strong financial and commercial background within Quantity Surveying.
• Full UK driving licence with willingness to travel UK‑wide.
