We're working with an established commercial contractor that's built a strong reputation for delivering quality projects and maintaining long-standing client relationships.
The business has grown considerably in recent years, creating an opportunity for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join its commercial team. With new commercial leadership in place and a good mix of work ahead, there's scope to get involved in interesting projects and contribute to how the business operates.
The role
You'll work closely with the Commercial Manager, Project Managers and site teams, taking responsibility for the commercial management of projects from procurement through to final account.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing project budgets, cost reporting and forecasting.
- Subcontractor procurement, negotiation and contract administration.
- Managing variations, progress claims and final accounts.
- Identifying commercial risks and working with project teams to resolve issues early.
- Monitoring project performance and protecting margins.
- Building strong relationships with subcontractors, consultants and clients.
It's a hands-on role where you'll be close to the projects and the people delivering them, with the opportunity to take real ownership of your work.
About you We're looking for someone with solid main contractor experience who understands the commercial realities of delivering construction projects.
You'll need to be comfortable managing procurement, contracts and project finances, with the confidence to work alongside experienced Project Managers and Site Managers.
Just as importantly, you'll be commercially astute, well organised and practical in your approach. Someone who can spot potential issues, have the right conversations and help find solutions rather than simply report on problems.
You don't necessarily need to come from a large contractor. Good construction knowledge, sound commercial judgement and the ability to build strong working relationships are what matter most.
Why consider it?
You'll be joining a privately owned construction business with ambitions to take on increasingly complex projects while retaining the culture and flexibility of a smaller contractor.
You'll have access to experienced leadership, a varied workload and the opportunity to contribute to a commercial function that's continuing to develop.
It's a good fit for someone who enjoys being involved in the detail of projects, values working closely with delivery teams and wants to have a genuine influence on commercial outcomes.
