Pre-FID Commercial Manager

The Pre-FID Commercial Manager will play a leading role in the commercial development of Highview's Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) projects ahead of the Financial Investment Decision (FID) gate. The role ensures investment readiness through robust CAPEX estimation, procurement strategy, FEED contract oversight, and lender due diligence support. In addition, the position contributes to corporate reporting, governance, policy improvement, and commercial capability building across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

Pre-FID Project Commercial Support

  • Negotiate and refine commercial positions, risk allocations, payment structures, and performance frameworks that underpin the FEED through to EPC
  • Support the development and agreement of EPC Heads of Terms and commercial principles during FEED
  • Establish the contractual framework enabling the same contractor to transition post-FID into full EPC execution under pre-agreed terms
  • Capture learnings and cost drivers during FEED to improve CAPEX maturity and execution readiness
  • Essential Requirements

  • A degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent)
  • 15+ years of experience in a project commercial management role within the large scale Infrastructure or energy sectors, with experience managing large, complex projects

  • Strong grasp of contract forms and commercial frameworks (NEC experience desirable)
  • Experience with the procurement and execution management of subcontracts for large-scale projects
  • Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact with various stakeholders, including contractors, senior management, and suppliers
  • Ability to manage and resolve disputes and commercial challenges effectively
  • Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Proficient in project management software and cost management tools
  • Desirable Requirements

  • Chartered status with RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) or another relevant professional body
