You will maintain live cost trackers and forecasts, report variances, propose mitigation measures, and support tight financial control across all projects
The role also involves producing regular commercial reports for senior management and providing input into planning, value engineering, and programme reviews. You will be expected to identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement, contributing meaningful commercial insight to support decision-making
Working closely with Purchasing and Operations, you will support procurement schedules and produce and review bills of quantities and specifications.

You should hold a degree or equivalent experience in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline and have experience working within a construction environment.
