Commercial Manager / Senior QS

Commercial Manager / Senior QS | Battery Storage & Flexible Generation | UK

Berkshire Talent Partnership is recruiting a Commercial Manager on behalf of a fast-paced, leading Independent Power Producer (IPP) at the forefront of the UK's energy transition. This is a business with real momentum — a multi-technology pipeline spanning battery storage, pumped hydro, green hydrogen and flexible generation, and some of the biggest and most innovative projects in the UK and Europe currently in development and construction.

The Role As Commercial Manager, you'll act as commercial and contractual guardian across major flexible generation projects, supporting delivery from design through construction and into operation. You'll be the person who keeps commercial risk visible, contracts watertight, and the supply chain moving in the right direction.

What you'll be doing

Producing accurate monthly commercial reports for the board and senior management

Advising on commercial risk profile and developing risk allocation strategies

Leading procurement planning and contracting strategy, working with external legal teams on head and subcontract templates

Leading negotiations with the supply chain across all stages of contract execution

Owning client accounts, claims and forecasts, and resolving issues as they arise

Summarising the commercial status of tenders and contracts for management

Working closely with Project Managers to manage technical, programme and commercial interfaces

Managing contract integration within CEMAR

What we're looking for

Strong contract negotiation experience on high-value, complex projects

Solid grounding in dispute resolution processes — adjudication, arbitration, mediation and litigation

Good financial and contractual awareness

A proactive, solutions-focused approach and the confidence to influence at all levels

Excellent organisation, planning and reporting skills

Strong written and verbal communication

A flexible, adaptable mindset that fits a fast-moving, ambitious culture

This is a genuine opportunity to join a business scaling at pace, with real ownership over the projects you work on and a culture that backs people who take initiative.

Interested, or know someone who'd be a great fit? Get in touch confidentially.
