Job Description

Commercial / Cost Manager

London-Based | European Travel

5+ Years’ Experience | Growing Datacentre Group

We’re recruiting for a rapidly expanding Datacentre Client delivering major projects across the UK and Europe. Backed by significant private equity funding and led by a vastly experienced senior leadership team, this organisation is building state-of-the-art technical infrastructure.

This is genuinely a career-defining opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, agile environment and wants to work for an organisation where decisions are made quickly and autonomy is encouraged.

With a flat structure and ongoing expansion, this role also offers real long-term progression.

A Unique Opportunity

High-impact role reporting directly into senior leadership - including the Construction Director and Project Costs Director. Fast-growing developer with a flat structure, high trust culture and real autonomy. International remit spanning London, Barcelona and Zurich - with a pipeline of further European projects. Bespoke, complex developments where quality, commercial rigour and innovation are fundamental. Long-term progression, with the expectation this role will develop into a leader of other Commercial Managers as the portfolio expands. Supportive, expert team - including some of the most experienced technical and development specialists in the market.

Data centre experience is not required - strong construction commercial management capability is what matters most.

Key Responsibilities

Provide professional in-house commercial management for major projects. Lead tender preparation, procurement, contract drafting and negotiation. Manage budgets, cashflows, valuations, cost reports and financial statements. Ensure contract compliance and manage change orders, variations and risks. Support capital programme budgeting and business case development. Conduct project assessments, forecasts and maintain accurate financial control. Work collaboratively across all project stakeholders, ensuring quality, compliance and commercial best practice. Assist with pre-acquisition due diligence and early development planning. Ensure newly constructed facilities meet budget, customer expectations and company standards.

What We’re Looking For

5+ years in a commercial or cost management role (CSA focused). Strong commercial acumen and financial management skills (budgets, contracts, forecasting, procurement). Excellent written and verbal communication - able to produce clear, articulate reports and engage confidently with senior decision-makers. Emotionally intelligent - adaptable and able to “roll up your sleeves” in a lean, high-performing environment. A proactive, hands-on mindset with the ability to operate effectively in a growing, agile environment. Solid understanding of development risk profiles and early-stage “at risk” project work.
