Several of the top 10 construction businesses in Canada, working on building projects of c£30m to £200m, are looking to recruit UK Commercial Managers for their businesses in Toronto. Many of these organisations been around for over 100 years and are regarded as some of the top employers in Canada, having been recognised by top awards/business press. From a relocation perspective, the good news is that these companies have been recruiting from the UK for 15-20+ years, so they are experienced in handling the visa/work permit process and in making the transition as smooth as possible for you/any family. They will also provide financial support to assist with any relocation. The role of Commercial Manager is a little different to what you might expect to find in the UK, in that you're unlikely to be managing a team of QS's, but instead the focus is providing suppport in areas such as contractual, procurement, project control, and risk/opportunity.  You'll be heavily involved in the work winning process (assessing risk/opportunity and mitigation), contract review/negotiation, through to project delivery (acting as a key steward from work winning to delivery, ensuring that the project team are aware of risks/managing these appropriately). We've been recruiting in Canada for over 15 years and can walk you through this in detail, providing detailed job descriptions etc. In order to be successful, you'll need a track record on a range of commercial, public sector, healthcare, or industrial building projects, valued at a minimum of £30m+.
