Commercial Manager - Roofing

Job description

A well-established commercial roofing contractor is seeking an experienced Commercial Manager ready to take the next step into broader leadership and business responsibility.

This role is ideally suited to a senior estimator or pre-contracts professional who is strong technically, commercially minded, and motivated to grow beyond a pricing-only role. You will work closely with senior leadership, gaining exposure across work-winning, client relationships, and commercial decision-making, with genuine scope to expand your influence as the business continues to grow.

The Opportunity This position sits at the centre of pre-contracts and commercial strategy, combining high-level estimating with business development and relationship management.
You will:
  • Lead the pricing of commercial and industrial roofing projects
  • Own tender strategy, scope review, and commercial risk assessment
  • Engage directly with clients, consultants, and builders to secure work
  • Support the conversion of enquiries into awarded projects
  • Work closely with operations to ensure smooth handover post-award
  • Gain exposure to pipeline planning, forecasting, and margin management
  • Influence how estimating and commercial processes evolve as the business grows
This is a hands-on role with increasing leadership scope, not a purely administrative or sales position.

About You This role is designed for professionals who are ready for more responsibility, not those looking to stay in a narrow technical lane.
You will likely have:
  • 5+ years’ experience in senior estimating, pre-contracts, or commercial roles
  • Background in commercial or industrial roofing (or related construction sectors)
  • A strong understanding of pricing, methodology, and risk
  • Confidence engaging clients and contributing to work-winning conversations
  • Commercial curiosity and appetite to broaden your role
  • Experience using estimating and document review tools (e.g. Bluebeam or similar)
Formal qualifications are beneficial but hands-on experience and ambition matter more.

Why This Role
  • Genuine step-up opportunity into broader commercial leadership
  • Exposure beyond estimating into business development and strategy
  • Support and mentoring from experienced leadership
  • Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus opportunity
  • Clear scope to grow the role as capability and confidence increase
  • Long-term opportunity within a stable, relationship-driven business
Additional Opportunities We are also actively recruiting for multiple roles across the construction and roofing sector, including:
  • Site Management
  • Project Management
  • Project Coordinators
  • Operations Management
