The Opportunity:
Regen Solutions are representing a rapidly expanding, market-leading Tier 1 Main Contractor with an exceptional reputation for operational delivery, innovation, and sustainable growth across the UK built environment.

- Southeast Client Partnerships: Serve as the primary senior commercial contact for Director-level stakeholders across Southeast housing associations and local authorities, ensuring collaborative partnerships, smooth pain/gain mechanisms, and successful annual indexation negotiations.
- Strategic Procurement & Supply Chain: Direct regional supply chain strategies across the Southeast to ensure competitive pricing, sustainable subcontractor capacity, and strict alignment with Tier 1 quality and safety standards.
- Work Winning & Growth: Collaborate closely with our Bid and Pre-Construction teams on strategic Southeast tenders, leveraging regional cost insights to win profitable new business and scale the portfolio beyond £50m.
What We Are Looking For:
- Tier 1 / Major Contractor Experience: Proven track record as a Commercial Manager or Regional Commercial Manager overseeing £30m-£50m+ portfolios within a large-scale Main Contractor or Specialist Service Provider.
- Social Housing Expertise: Deep commercial fluency in social housing maintenance contracts (M3NHF, JCT, NEC3/4, TPC2005/TAC-1) across reactive repairs, voids, and planned works.
- Regional Mobility: Willingness and ability to travel across contracts and regional hubs in the Southeast of England.
- Specialist Risk Knowledge: High level of competence in managing commercial risk and scope management around legal disrepair, damp, and mould.
- Strategic & Financial Acumen: Advanced financial modelling, negotiation skills, and a strong track record of driving margin improvements across high-volume contracts.
- Qualifications: Degree in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or equivalent. Professional chartership (MRICS or MCIOB) is highly desirable.
