We are working with a leading consultancy who are looking to appoint an Associate Director specialising in Life Cycle Costing and Whole Life Cycle Costing for buildings within their Project Management & Commercial Management (PMCM) team.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Chartered Quantity Surveyor with a strong understanding of asset management, operational costs and lifecycle planning to help establish and grow a dedicated lifecycle costing capability.

You will work across a range of building sectors including airports, defence, warehouses, offices and energy centres.

You will have strong support from the Lead QS and Technical Director, with no initial line management responsibility.

What We're Looking For

• MRICS / Chartered QS
• Strong understanding of ISO 15686.5
• Whole life and lifecycle costing experience

• Knowledge of CostX, CEMAR and NEC
• Public sector and/or heavy industry experience

The Opportunity

Join a leading consultancy with a strong pipeline of work and the opportunity to shape and grow a new lifecycle costing capability, build a team and work on major projects across the UK.

If you don't meet every requirement but have relevant experience, we would still encourage you to apply.
