This is an opportunity to work closely with operational, commercial and project teams on both refurbishment and new build schemes across core health and education markets. You will have the autonomy to commercially manage several projects at once, while being supported by a collaborative team that values professionalism, positive behaviours and customer focus.

• Prepare robust tender documents and subcontract enquiries to meet all requirements of the project, including our commitment to local supply chain spend.
• Undertake due diligence of supply chain members in line with company governance procedures, ensuring suitability of each supply chain member.
• Develop and implement suitable contracts, both with the client and supply chain.
• Ensure contract administration is undertaken throughout the lifecycle of each project to adequately protect the business and ensure compliance with contractual obligations.
• Prepare and submit project valuations and final accounts to the client, including pricing and agreeing variations.
• Monthly commercial reports to Managing Surveyor (CVRs, profit forecasting, cash flow etc).
• Actively manage the risk and opportunity identification process throughout to ensure visibility and adequate mitigations and forecasting can be implemented.
• Ensure compliance with all internal commercial processes.

What we\'re looking for

We are looking for someone who reflects our behaviours: positive, professional, customer focused, a strong team player and committed to doing the right thing.

You will bring strong commercial awareness, confidence working with clients and subcontractors, and the ability to balance multiple priorities across a live project portfolio.

Essential experience and attributes:

• Experience across our core markets of health and education, including both refurbishment and new build.
• Have a strong knowledge of current Health and Safety practice and the ability to work closely with the operational team to ensure holistic decision making.
