The role of the commercial manager in a contracting capacity covers all financial aspects of a project, from bidding for work through to the close out of final accounts when the project is completed. This involves procurement of works to maximise the profit margin, and the subsequent management of costs through the design and construction phase in order to ensure that margins are realised. A graduate trainee commercial manager would typically start working on sub-contracts, assisting in procurement, carrying out valuations, and agreeing variation costs. As their construction knowledge and negotiation skills develop, the complexity of their work packages will increase. From there they will become involved with cost reporting and the main contract account. Quantity surveyors working in a consultancy capacity are often referred to as private quantity surveyors (PQS) whose role can be defined under a multiple job titles such as cost consultant or cost manager. Cost consultancy graduates and placement students work closely with the main contractor, and client, providing authoritative commercial and risk advice.
