• Support procurement and tender processes, managing subcontractor relationships and performance.
• Monitor project costs, valuations, and forecasts to ensure profitability and accuracy.
• Produce monthly reports and support senior colleagues in budget reviews.
• Work collaboratively with operational teams to achieve programme, cost, and quality targets.

What We’re Looking For

• HNC, HND, Degree, or equivalent qualification in Quantity Surveying, Construction, or a related field.
• Experience working with bills of quantities, schedules of rates, and D&B contracts.
• Strong numerical, analytical, and organisational skills.
• Excellent communication and time-management abilities.
• Confident user of Microsoft Excel and other commercial reporting tools.
• Full UK driving licence.

Desirable:

• Experience within construction, retrofit, or building fabric upgrades.
• Knowledge of PAS 2035 and retrofit principles.

• Competitive salary with clear career progression pathways.
• Pension scheme and employee benefits package.
• Ongoing training, mentoring, and professional development opportunities.
• Work with a forward-thinking organisation committed to sustainability and quality delivery.
