Job description

Linesight is recruiting a Cost Manager in London. This advert leads with the contentious end of the work rather than the tender end. The first duty it names is supporting the settlement of construction disputes and of loss and expense claims, and the second is resolving commercial questions, change orders and contract issues quickly and fairly.

The holder assists in preparing and agreeing final accounts, including:

• the handling of any claims within them
• prepares estimates and cost plans for client developments
• oversees project spend by producing valuations and cost reports
• communicates variations to the team

Taking part in the tender and bid process, from the initial documentation through analysis and reporting, comes last on the list. Linesight asks for experience of both pre-contract and post-contract cost management across varied projects, and states that MRICS is required.

It wants a degree or comparable experience in cost management or a construction discipline, and asks the holder to travel for short periods to meet clients, partners and the team. Interviews are conducted in person or by video. The advert states no salary and gives no closing date.
