Looking for more than just another Commercial Manager role?
Join the BIP/Refresh team at an exciting stage of growth, where you'll have the opportunity to help shape the future of the business while leading the commercial delivery of impactful refurbishment, regeneration, and building improvement projects across the UK. Unlike traditional new build roles, you'll work on complex, rewarding schemes that transform existing buildings and create lasting value for clients and communities.
Working closely with the Commercial Director, you'll take ownership of commercial performance across multiple projects, managing everything from procurement and CVRs to client relationships, subcontractor accounts, and final accounts. This is a highly visible role offering genuine influence, flexibility, and the chance to grow with a business that's investing in both its people and its future.
Based from our Chester office with travel to sites and regional offices as required, this opportunity is ideal for an experienced Commercial Manager or Senior Quantity Surveyor looking to make a real impact within a growing and ambitious team.
The successful candidate will have proven experience in a Commercial Manager or Senior Quantity Surveyor position, ideally within refurbishment, fit-out, regeneration, or occupied-building environments. Strong commercial acumen, excellent negotiation and stakeholder management skills, and the ability to effectively manage multiple projects are essential. Just as importantly, you'll be a collaborative leader who enjoys supporting and developing others within the commercial team.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing area of the business that specialises in revitalising and improving existing buildings and spaces, offering a varied project portfolio, genuine career progression opportunities, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on the built environment.
Apply today to be part of a team delivering high-quality refurbishment and building improvement projects that transform communities and create lasting value.
