A well-established and highly regarded Tier One contractor with a history dating back to the late 1700s has been delivering lasting impact for clients for over 200 years.

We are seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join our Building Division and support our team on an exciting building development.

We're looking for someone with excellent commercial acumen and a proven track record delivering commercially sound building schemes. You will be responsible for detailed cost control and recovery of value on the project, whilst maintaining excellent relationships with our supply chain and sub-contractors on site.

It's important that you're well-versed in the administration of NEC/JCT contracts.

They are a company that takes pride in a collaborative approach, so we're looking for a real team player. MRICS would be great, but not essential; a degree or equivalent in Quantity Surveying is essential.

The ideal candidate will have demonstrable post-graduate experience in a similar position with a main contractor.

A full driving licence is essential.

Typical duties will include:

1. Establishing the project budget including the allocation of cost codes to ensure detailed and accurate cost reporting is achieved.
2. Review of main contract and subcontract terms and conditions, inclusive of stepping down conditions from main contract to subcontract.
3. Procurement of subcontract packages including compilation of tender documentation.
4. The detailed and transparent process of reporting on costs to date and forecasting cost to completion.
5. Administration of the main contract and subcontracts, including compilation of contractual correspondence in relation to delays and associated loss and expense.
6. Regular liaison and interface with the Employers team for the purposes of progressing the commercial aspects of the project.
7. The day-to-day managing of staff resources to ensure the project's costs are known and managed effectively.
8. Carrying out delay analysis including the preparation of narratives and loss and expense to support claim submissions.
9. Handling subcontract issues as they arise.
10. Ensuring the variation/compensation event mechanism is correctly and timeously followed to ensure the commercial protection of the business.
11. Forecasting of cash flow/budget compilation.
12. Liaising with procurement to set and agree allowances for the project.
13. Attending progress/commercial meetings and representing the company in a commercial capacity.
