Job title: Commercial Manager – Mechanical Services & Industrial Projects
Location: Co Cork
Company: Irish Specialist Mechanical & Industrial Contractor
Package: Up to €100,000 DOE + vehicle / allowance + pension + performance bonus
The Company
Irish specialist contractor delivering industrial insulation and mechanical services packages across Ireland and Europe, with the majority of its work in data centre, pharmaceutical and life sciences environments.
Based in Co Cork, the business already works with a number of major M&E contractors and is forecasting a significant increase in projects across Ireland and Europe. This is a close-knit business with an open office environment and direct access to senior management.
The Role: Operations & Commercial Manager
This is a senior Operations & Commercial Manager position reporting directly to the Managing Director.
You’ll take responsibility for the commercial and operational performance of multiple projects from contract award through to final account, covering cost control, valuations, variations, labour productivity, programme delivery and client relationships.
The ideal candidate will come from a Quantity Surveying or commercial background with strong mechanical knowledge and the ability to understand mechanical layouts, isometric drawings and P&IDs.
You’ll work closely with clients, M&E contractors, site supervisors, procurement and company management, with travel to projects across Ireland and Europe as required.
Must Have Requirements
You’ll be commercially strong, practical and comfortable taking ownership of projects. A Quantity Surveying background combined with mechanical construction knowledge would be particularly well suited to this position.
Just as importantly, you’ll need to suit a close-knit working environment where communication is direct and decisions are made quickly. You should be comfortable working directly with the Managing Director, clients and project teams while maintaining a clear view of costs, programme and profitability.
What’s on Offer
Salary: Up to €100,000 DOE
Benefits:
Why Apply?
This role gives you considerably more responsibility than a traditional Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager position. You’ll have visibility across both the operational and commercial sides of the business and work directly under the Managing Director.
With project numbers forecast to increase across Ireland and Europe, there is genuine scope for the successful Operations & Commercial Manager to grow with the company and take on greater responsibility as the business expands.
