• Leading cost control, forecasting and cost value reconciliation (CVR) reporting.
• Managing change control, variations and compensation events, ensuring scope changes are recorded and properly valued.
• Managing extensions of time and delay mechanisms, working with the Planner to assess programme impacts and commercial implications.
• Working with subcontractors and managing subcontract and purchase agreements.
• Maintaining robust commercial records and identifying risks and potential business exposure throughout the project lifecycle.
• Supporting project teams through commercial close-out and final account.

Why this could be your next move

This opportunity puts your commercial expertise at the centre of engineering project delivery. You'll have a clear remit, close collaboration with project colleagues and the chance to apply your NEC knowledge across a growing project pipeline.

What you'll bring

• You'll have a strong Quantity Surveying or commercial background, with a good understanding of mechanical installation and engineering projects, supported by sound commercial and contractual knowledge.
• NEC experience is important—particularly compensation events, change control, variations, extensions of time and delays, alongside experience of working closely with a Planner.
• We're particularly interested in backgrounds within engineering or M&E, manufacturing or industrial projects, infrastructure or civils, utilities, food and beverage, chemical or pharmaceutical projects, or automated production and process environments.
• Coming from a traditional construction or building QS background? We'd also welcome your application if you can demonstrate strong transferable NEC and engineering project experience. Engineering or industrial experience is preferred.
