We are working with a market-leading organisation providing high-security entrance and access control solutions across government, critical infrastructure and commercial environments. This is a senior, business-critical role working directly with the Managing Director. Sitting between sales, project delivery, finance and operations, you will ensure that projects are delivered commercially and operationally in line with commitments, invoiced on time and protected from margin erosion. You will lead Project Managers and suppliers, improve forecast accuracy, strengthen commercial controls and drive greater accountability across the delivery function. Location: Candidates must be based in the Southern Home Counties or within sensible commuting distance of Central Kent. The preferred arrangement is 2-3 days per week in the office, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate. Why This Role Stands Out Senior leadership position with ownership of project revenue, gross margin and forecasting. Direct influence over commercial performance after order intake. Lead Project Managers and suppliers against delivery, invoicing and margin targets. Improve accountability, reduce commercial leakage and protect EBITDA. Join a respected business delivering high-quality solutions in demanding environments. Key Responsibilities Commercial Ownership & Margin Protection Own commercial performance after order intake, ensuring revenue and margin are actively managed. Protect EBITDA through strong commercial governance and timely intervention. Monitor project margins, identify erosion and implement corrective action. Oversee contract reviews, variations, payment applications and final accounts. Manage credit and cashflow risks. Lead margin recovery through variation strategies, cost control and commercial challenge. Maintain accurate commercial reporting and SIMPRO system workflows. Forecasting & Project Control Own forecast accuracy, challenging and validating Project Manager assumptions. Hold Project Managers accountable for forecasts, delivery commitments and commercial performance. Drive backlog conversion from order intake through to invoicing. Ensure forecasts are evidence-based and reflect actual delivery conditions. Intervene where projects are delayed or commitments are at risk. Chair operations meetings focused on delivery, margins, forecast accuracy and corrective action. Leadership & Supplier Management Lead, develop and improve the project delivery function. Set clear expectations for commercial discipline, accountability and delivery standards. Improve consistency and performance across the Project Management team. Hold teams accountable for outcomes while enabling effective decision-making. Manage supplier and subcontractor performance against quality, cost and programme commitments. Reduce routine escalation to the Managing Director by strengthening leadership below MD level. Health & Safety & Cross-Functional Working Provide oversight of site risks, health and safety and delivery compliance. Ensure robust risk assessment, reporting and escalation processes. Work closely with the Head of Sales to improve handovers, pipeline realism and delivery readiness. Align sales commitments, project delivery and financial outcomes. Partner with finance while retaining ownership of operational and commercial delivery performance. Skills & Experience We are looking for someone with: Senior leadership experience in commercial, project delivery or operational roles within construction, engineered systems, security, access control or similar project-led sectors. Strong understanding of P&L, EBITDA, gross margin and commercial accountability. Proven experience leading Project Managers and delivery teams against revenue, invoicing and margin targets. Strong construction and project delivery knowledge. Experience managing change control, variations, forecasting and operational risk. Ability to align sales commitments with operational delivery.

You will take ownership of how the business converts sold work into delivered and invoiced revenue, protecting margins while improving accountability, forecasting and commercial control. You will have a significant influence on business performance and the opportunity to shape a key function within an established global organisation. Salary & Benefits Salary up to £85,000, depending on experience. 10% bonus on achievement of the self-funding EBITDA target. Electric company car (Audi Q4 e-tron, BMW iX3 or similar) or competitive car allowance. 5% employer pension contribution. Healthcare and life cover. 25 days' holiday. Company mobile and laptop.

Reporting to the Technical & Product Director, you'll turn technical strategy into day-to-day reality.

Working to the strategy and standards set by the Technical & Product Director, you'll build and operate the core processes, which are document control, change control and internal audit. You'll give Commercial, Production and customers fast, reliable technical support, and build the team's product and certification knowledge into systems and people, not any one individual. WHAT YOU'LL RUN Document control: implement and run it across all technical documentation, including specifications, drawings, guidance and technical files, so everything is current, controlled and traceable. Change control: operate product and process change control, assessing every change against evidence, certification and manufacturability.

WHAT YOU'LL LEAD Your team: lead ten people day to day across delivery, product engineering, testing and certification. Set clear objectives, balance workload, hold regular one-to-ones, agree development plans and recognise good work. Change, done well: introduce new systems and processes with the team, not to it. Involve people in designing document control, change control and audit, and pace change so the team can absorb it. Knowledge that lasts: capture product and certification know-how in controlled documents and training, crediting and involving the people who hold it. Cross-train so that critical knowledge is held by more than one person. Keeping your people: know what each person needs in order to stay, and act early on any risk of losing them.

You run, maintain and improve the governance system day to day. You decide within approved evidence and delegated limits, and recommend or escalate everything else.

Certification and testing: the Director owns the programme, budget and certification-body relationships; you maintain technical files and coordinate tests and audits. BS-to-EN and evidence: the Director leads the programme and designs the evidence system; you deliver the product-level workstreams and run the enquiry service. Risk: the Director reports technical risk to the leadership team and board; you maintain the register and escalate. Suppliers: the Director sets the requirements; you own supplier compliance and component evidence. Regulation: the Director interprets regulation and represents the business externally; you monitor developments and brief.
