This role will support long-term local authority contracts covering kitchen and bathroom refurbishments, decarbonisation programmes and external works, with projects taking place in occupied residential properties. Experience within social housing, planned maintenance or refurbishment environments would be highly desirable, although candidates from other construction sectors who can quickly adapt will also be considered.

• Managing variations and ensuring commercial recovery.


• Building strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and internal stakeholders.


• Supporting procurement, cash flow management and commercial reporting.

What I'm Looking For

• Previous experience as a Quantity Surveyor or Project Surveyor.


• Experience managing construction, refurbishment, planned maintenance or capital works contracts.


• Ability to commercially manage projects valued up to £3 million.


• Strong commercial acumen and financial awareness.


• A proven ability to identify cost-saving opportunities and maximise contract value.


• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.


• Organised, proactive and collaborative approach to working.

• Private mileage scheme and fuel card


• Enhanced employer pension contributions up to 7%
