Title: Principal Commercial Manager
Requisition ID: 10722
We’re excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Permanent Principal Commercial Manager who enjoys collaboration, problem‑solving, and developing others. This role is based at our Polmadie office in Glasgow and offers hybrid working, balancing time between home and the office.
Amey works in close partnership with Transport Scotland, the guardian of one of the nation’s largest and most strategically vital public assets – the £22bn Scottish trunk road and motorway network. As the investment in this critical infrastructure faces the combined pressures of accelerating climate impacts and changing community expectations, we are seeking an exceptional, values‑led commercial leader. This role will be pivotal in shaping and delivering the next phase of long‑term investment, ensuring sustainable asset stewardship, resilient performance and maximum public value for Scotland’s transport network.
This Principal Commercial Manager role offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact – not just on contracts and numbers, but on sustainability, resilience and how vital transport infrastructure supports everyday lives across Scotland. You will lead a diverse commercial team supporting programmes focused on asset improvements and climate‑strategy‑driven works, helping to deliver long‑term value for Scotland.
What You Will Do
- Lead all contractual and commercial activities across major frameworks and programmes, ensuring fair, transparent and ethical outcomes.
- Shape and evolve commercial strategy in line with Amey governance, legislation, the Freedom to Perform approach and climate‑resilient investment priorities.
- Provide inspirational leadership, coaching and development for a diverse commercial team, creating an inclusive high‑performance environment where people feel supported and heard.
- Act as a trusted commercial partner to Transport Scotland, Operations, Finance and the wider supply chain, building respectful and effective working relationships.
- Drive commercial best practice to maximise value, manage risk and maintain strong financial integrity while stewarding public funds responsibly.
- Embed consistent, proportionate commercial processes that enable delivery rather than constrain it.
- Play a key role in work‑winning, mobilisation and the successful delivery of complex programmes through collaboration and knowledge sharing.
- Champion inclusive behaviours, psychological safety and an open culture across all interactions.
What You Will Bring
- A degree (or equivalent experience) in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or a related discipline.
- Chartered status (or actively working towards chartership) with a relevant professional body.
- Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience leading large, complex frameworks in public sector or regulated environments.
- Deep understanding of contractual forms, risk management and value delivery.
- A proven track record of developing commercial strategy and stewarding public funds responsibly.
- Experience leading, mentoring and developing inclusive, high‑performing teams.
- Confidence operating within complex stakeholder environments, supported by excellent communication and negotiation skills.
- A collaborative, clear and empathetic communication style.
- A personal commitment to safety, sustainability, climate resilience and ethical ways of working.
- Curiosity, openness to learning and a strong sense of integrity and fairness.
