Commercial Manager

We're hiring a Commercial Manager.A well-established quarry and aggregates producer in the UAE is building out its commercial function, and we're looking for the person who will own it.This is not a buying role. It's a control role on both sides of the P&L.Diesel, explosives, wear parts, hauling rates, rock prices—in this industry, they all move weekly. Margin leaks quietly in two places: the gap between what gets ordered and what it should have cost, and the gap between what a contract was bid at and what it actually earns. The Commercial Manager closes both.What you'd own:• Approval authority over every commercial LPO in the business• The pricing matrix and sign-off on every quotation and tender before it leaves the building• A live price index across the buy side and the sell side, published weekly to the leadership team• Rate contracts, vendor governance, and the cost model per tonne• Post-award margin review: Did the contract earn what the bid promised?Reporting line: Direct to the CEO (or GM). Independent of Operations.What we're looking for:• 8–12 years in commercial, procurement, or contracts with real approval authority, not just PO execution• Quarrying, aggregates, mining, construction materials, or heavy civils background• UAE/GCC market experience and a working knowledge of the local supply base• Financially literate enough to build a cost model per tonne and defend it• Real bid and tender pricing experience—you have set a floor margin and held it• Someone who can hold a commercial line under pressure from a supplier, from Operations, or from a customer who wants a better number
