Job description

Company

We are working with a market leading building contractor whose head office is based in the North West. From here they work nationally and secure work through a number of procurement frameworks on which they have a great degree of success. A good proportion of their workload comes from negotiation. They tend to work to double‑digit margins, are cash‑rich and have secured the majority of next years turnover already. They are aware of their social responsibilities so encourage their staff to take part in volunteering days (both in the UK and abroad), provide gym membership and other wellbeing initiatives, work with colleges to encourage the next generation into the industry and provide electric vehicle charging points at their office.

Role

They are now in a position to add to their small, Regional Pre‑Construction team in line with planned expansion and an extremely healthy pipeline of opportunities. This position provides a great opportunity for someone to continue their career within a highly successful pre‑construction team. They would like to recruit a Preconstruction Commercial Manager who would work closely with the Preconstruction Manager/Director, Estimators and Design Managers and delivery teams helping to secure projects typically valued up to GBP50 Million.

Primary Responsibilities

• Analyse tender documents received to understand the Client’s Requirements on the scheme.
• Build up Cost Plans to provide early‑stage cost advice to clients.
• Liaise with the supply chain to obtain project costs.
• Analyse and check project costs prior to tender submission.
• Assist with the preparation of tender proposals such as detailed specifications and cost analysis.
• Insurances, warranties and parent company guarantees.

Secondary Responsibilities

• Work with Project Quantity Surveyors ensuring a good handover to aid the delivery of schemes.
• General assistance to the project team as and when required.

You

Ideally, you will be a Quantity Surveyor with experience gained in pre‑construction working with contractor sub‑contractor. You may be a QS looking for a change of role and hoping to reduce your travel (they envisage the role to be based from their office and offer home working if desired). They are very open minded about the type of experience you have and are more concerned with the attitude and approach of the individual. You will be based in or be able to commute to Cheshire daily.

Rewards

The successful person will receive structured training and development and a good salary and benefits package. You will be working with a contractor who are a market leader in their chosen sectors, who are forward thinking and have grown significantly over the last few years. They can provide a challenging and supportive work environment.
