Commercial Manager - Major Projects

Job Description

Travel to the remote project site in Ontario (Chalk River) for approximately one week per month (expenses reimbursed).

If you’re a commercial leader who thrives in complexity, owns outcomes, and brings the grit and judgment required to deliver major infrastructure work, this is the role where you’ll make an impact.

We’re looking for a Commercial Manager who can lead the commercial strategy on a large‑scale, highly regulated project.

This is an active opportunity for a high‑calibre commercial professional ready to step into a role with real influence.

• Manage Change Orders end‑to‑end, producing rigorous, evidence‑based commercial cases for entitlement, pricing, and claims.
• Chair or participate in risk, trend, and change control forums.
• Lead claim management and dispute resolution with clarity and confidence.
• Identify and execute strategies that enhance project profitability.
• Ensure contract and procedural compliance across all commercial activities.
• Advise on contract negotiations and commercial positioning.
• Provide proactive commercial guidance to project leadership, engineering, construction, and procurement.
• Work closely with Construction Managers, Superintendents, Safety, Quality, and Project Controls to assess design changes and constructability impacts.
