Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a growing and ambitious property consultancy as Cost Management Director, taking a senior position within its London business and playing a key role in the next phase of its growth.

This is not simply a delivery focused Cost Management role. The successful individual will have the opportunity to lead a team, influence the direction of the business, build and strengthen client relationships and have genuine commercial impact.

The business has an established presence in the London property market and is continuing to grow its Cost Management capability. They are looking for a senior individual who can bring energy, experience and ambition to the role, while helping to develop the team and shape the proposition going forward.

Why This Opportunity?

This is a chance to join a business where you can have real influence and visibility at senior level.

Rather than stepping into a heavily structured corporate environment, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of your clients, projects and team, with the backing of an established property consultancy and the platform to develop your career further.

The business is looking for someone who wants to be more than a technical Cost Management specialist. Someone who enjoys winning work, developing people, building relationships and being recognised as a senior figure in the market.

There is a strong pipeline of opportunity across the London commercial property market, with involvement in large scale commercial developments, refurbishment and major capital projects.

The Role

As Cost Management Director, you will play a pivotal role in the continued growth of the Cost Management business.

You will lead and develop an experienced team, oversee major client instructions and maintain senior relationships with developers, investors, landlords, occupiers and other key stakeholders.

Alongside project delivery, you will be expected to help drive the commercial performance of the business by identifying opportunities, developing existing relationships and bringing your own network and market knowledge to the table.

You will have the freedom and seniority to make a genuine difference.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor and develop a team of Cost Managers and Quantity Surveyors


• Take senior responsibility for key client relationships


• Oversee Cost Management services across major commercial projects


• Provide strategic cost and commercial advice throughout the project lifecycle


• Lead cost planning, procurement and commercial management across complex projects


• Drive business development and identify new opportunities


• Develop existing client relationships and generate repeat business


• Support the recruitment and growth of the wider Cost Management team


• Take an active role in the strategic development of the Cost Management offering


• Represent the business at a senior level across the London property market

About You

The ideal candidate will be an established Cost Management / Quantity Surveying professional operating at Director or Associate Director level, with the experience and ambition to take on a broader leadership role.

Most importantly, you will have a strong track record across large scale commercial projects, alongside the ability to lead people, manage sophisticated clients and identify commercial opportunities.

You will bring:

• Extensive Cost Management / Quantity Surveying experience


• Strong commercial project and delivery credentials


• Proven experience leading and developing teams
  
• An established network of client relationships


• Strong commercial and business development instincts


• The confidence to operate at senior level with clients and stakeholders


• A collaborative and entrepreneurial approach


• The ambition to play a significant role in growing a business

MRICS or an equivalent professional qualification is expected.

The Opportunity

For the right person, this represents a genuine opportunity to step into a highly influential leadership position and help shape the future of a growing Cost Management business.

You will have the opportunity to build a team around you, develop a strong client portfolio, win new work and benefit directly from the commercial success you help create.

If you are currently operating in a large corporate environment and are looking for greater autonomy, visibility, earning potential and the opportunity to make your mark, this could be an excellent next move.
