We're not just a construction consultancy; we're a catalyst for change. Since 1875, Gleeds has been bringing to life new ideas and bold visions for the built environment. In a world that's evolving at pace, we're continually connecting people, places, ideas, and possibilities, making every day another step toward a better future.
We don't simply work for our clients; we partner with value-driven organisations who share our ambition for a connected, resilient, and sustainable future. We integrate seamlessly into their teams, acting as genuine collaborators rather than external consultants.
With more than 76 offices worldwide, you'll join a truly global network that thrives on diverse perspectives and strong relationships. Wherever we operate, we are committed to the success of our people, clients, and communities, creating safer, more sustainable places to live, work, and thrive.
Gleeds is a place to be part of something bigger. We take pride in a supportive culture that empowers you to make an impact, build meaningful connections, and shape the future of our industry. Here, you can steer your own journey while contributing to a legacy built on trust, expertise, and purpose.
Gleeds US is entering a significant growth phase, driven by major investment across data centres, advanced manufacturing, mission critical facilities, and large-scale commercial programmes. To support this expansion, we are seeking an experienced and ambitious Commercial Director to join our team in the United States, ideally based in Atlanta (or within 1-2 hours' travel).
This is a rare opportunity to take a senior leadership role in a rapidly scaling region, influencing strategy, shaping delivery models, and strengthening our commercial capability across high-impact programmes for global clients.
You will play a pivotal role in driving commercial excellence, building client relationships, and leading teams across complex, fast-moving projects.
Key Responsibilities
As Commercial Director, you will provide strategic leadership across all commercial and cost management activities, including:
- Leading commercial strategy, governance, and performance across major programmes.
- Managing procurement processes, including vendor prequalification, bid assessments, bid levelling, recommendations, and contract award.
- Overseeing full-project estimating, including construction, fees, direct works, and associated costs.
- Presenting estimates, value engineering options, and risk assessments to clients.
- Challenging and validating vendor pricing using benchmarking and market intelligence.
- Leading cost reporting frameworks, including forecasting, budget tracking, commercial risk registers, and executive-level reporting.
- Managing payment applications, change orders, contractual entitlements, and dispute avoidance/resolution.
- Overseeing invoicing processes and ensuring commercial compliance across all projects.
- Leading final accounting, post-contract audits, and close-out activities.
- Embedding lessons learned and contributing to training materials and capability development.
- Using and overseeing the preparation of bid analysis sheets, change control documentation, estimating tools, and take-off software.
We are looking for a senior commercial leader who brings:
- A bachelor's degree in construction management, cost management, quantity surveying, engineering, or a related field.
- Substantial experience and knowledge in commercial management, cost management, or quantity surveying within the construction industry.
- Proven experience leading commercial functions on medium to large-scale programmes.
- Strong understanding of procurement routes, value management, and value engineering.
- Excellent communication skills and confidence in client-facing environments.
- Experience with estimating tools and cost management software.
- A collaborative leadership style and the ability to influence at senior levels.
About us
Gleeds is a global property and construction consultancy with over 150 years of expertise, operating in 28 countries worldwide. From iconic landmarks to critical infrastructure, we drive innovation, sustainability and value, delivering transformative projects that shape communities and redefine the built environment.
