Commercial Leadership is where GEDON™ adds outsized value. This space is not about filling a seat; it’s about hiring leaders who safeguard profitability, set commercial culture, and elevate the performance of entire project teams. We specialise in recruiting Commercial Managers, Commercial Directors, Heads of Commercial, and senior QS leaders who can operate at both project and business level — managing risk while also driving growth.

Because GEDON™ is rooted in Quantity Surveying, estimating, and pre-construction, we see the full commercial ecosystem. We understand what strong leadership looks like in different environments: a Tier 1 high-governance machine, a fast-moving Tier 2 contractor, a developer-builder model, or a specialist subcontractor scaling up. We also understand the difference between leaders who “administer contracts” and leaders who actively shape outcomes — negotiating upstream, protecting downstream, mentoring teams, and aligning commercial strategy with construction reality.

Our network here is built on trust and time. Senior commercial professionals rarely advertise. They move through relationships, reputation, and timing. GEDON™ maintains an always-on dialogue with these leaders through long-standing market presence and consistent engagement. We know who has recently delivered major claims, who has led multi-project portfolios, who is strong in client negotiation versus internal governance, and who can stabilise a business through volatile cycles.

We recruit for substance, not status. Beyond verifying project scale and contract type, we assess decision-making style, leadership maturity, stakeholder presence, and commercial instinct under pressure. We also look at succession impact: can this person lift the people under them, not just deliver their own workload?

Clients partner with GEDON™ for commercial leadership hires when the stakes are high — margin is tight, projects are complex, teams need direction, or the business is scaling. We bring market intelligence, deep sector alignment, and a network that reaches the leaders you actually want, not just the ones who are available.
