Manage subcontractor valuations and issue payment or pay-less notices per contract terms. Attend client and consultant meetings, keeping stakeholders updated on financial and contractual matters. Prepare and submit monthly valuations, manage variations, and handle L&E or EOT claims as required.

Commercial Oversight

Track costs and progress throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring delivery within budget. Finalise accounts and support project close-out.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor in Fit Out or fast-track construction projects.

• Experience of working in live airport environments is highly desirable.
• Strong commercial acumen and excellent attention to detail.
• Confident communicator, comfortable working with clients, consultants, and site teams.
