• Measure and quantify materials and labour requirements from technical drawings, specifications, and site surveys.
• Support the procurement process by obtaining and assessing quotations from specialist suppliers and subcontractors.
• Monitor project costs and budgets, tracking variations, change orders, and potential commercial risks.
• Undertake periodic site visits across the North West to assess progress, verify completed works, and support commercial reporting.
• Liaise with project managers, site teams, and clients to ensure commercial and contractual alignment.
• Assist in preparing, reviewing, and agreeing subcontractor payment applications, variations, and final accounts.
• Maintain accurate commercial records, cost files, and reporting systems in line with company procedures.
• Provide regular financial updates to senior commercial staff to support forecasting and cash flow management.
