Commercial Manager

We have been engaged by Manchester City Council to recruit a number of key people for the Town Hall extension project which has now received council approval.

The transformation and refurbishment of the Town Hall complex is one of the most significant and challenging projects in the history of the council. At the heart of this is the opportunity to modernise the cultural and behaviour of those within their workforce, and in turn create working environments which will support excellent and effective customer services.

Management of the overall Programme will be driven by the construction element of the Programme and the need for transformational change in delivering improved access to better services for our customers. This will require a high level of coordination and clear communication across a broad group of stakeholders.

The total investment in the Town Hall complex is estimated to be up to £175m, with a current best estimate capital cost of £165m

Main Purpose of Job

Provide overarching leadership, co-ordination and management of all cost management services in relation to the Town Hall Complex Programme. This will include assistance to the Project Team in all commercial and procurement issues including liaison with MCC Legal and Procurement departments to ensure compliance with the Manchester Method.

The Commercial Manager will be expected to agree and manage budgets, set up commercial procedures and pro-formas to assist the Project Managers and Cost Consultants, identify Continuous Improvement opportunities and drive a Value for Money ethos throughout the project.

Candidates will be experienced commercial managers with experience that goes beyond simply managing the costs and money on a project, but extends to developing a strategy and program that can deliver in line with a fixed cost. Some experience of working within a contracting background is essential. Candidates are likely to have a quantity surveying or accounting qualification.
