The opportunity

Asphalt isn’t just a material. It’s the backbone of modern Britain.

We’re reimagining what Asphalt can be.

We know that time is critical, which is why we offer our Express Asphalt service, designed specifically for quick collections - in fact we guarantee a 30-minute turnaround for single product loads.

Now, we’re looking for a Head of Commercial - Express to take this to the next level.

This isn’t a maintenance role. It’s a mandate to reshape the market.

You will have full ownership of commercial strategy — driving growth, redefining customer interaction, and cementing Holcim as the UK’s market leader in next-generation Asphalt solutions.

What you’ll do

• Own the agenda.
  Set and deliver a commercial strategy that doesn’t just grow the business — it rewrites the benchmarks for margin, performance and growth.

• Outthink the market.
  Turn insight into action. Anticipate shifts in customer needs, sector dynamics and competition — and move first, not fast-follow.

• Build a team that raises the bar.
  Create a high-performance commercial engine where accountability is expected, collaboration is instinctive, and excellence is the baseline.

• Make commercial excellence non-negotiable.
  Drive pricing discipline, governance and customer performance with precision — delivering consistent, standout results in your division.

• Lead transformation from the front.
  Embed smarter ways of working and accelerate growth.
