Job description

Here within the @one Alliance we are a totally collaborative organisation made up of our eight partner companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska and SWECO) and our extended supply chain, delivering over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.

We are gearing up for our most exciting and challenging Asset Management Period yet, known as AMP 8. This will see us deliver a programme of work larger than we’ve ever delivered before. We are driving change, empowering us to set global benchmarks and build a better environment, with the opportunity to offer enhanced growth and development to our workforce. We’re looking to build on our existing teams with an environment for career progression.

To do that we need people who are keen to contribute to building a better environment and help us achieve our targets. Are you ready to join us as we prepare to deliver the most creative and innovative AMP we have ever seen?

As we move into this exciting and challenging period for the Water industry, it is essential our commercial and cost management processes and practices remain industry-leading to ensure we not only deliver but outperform against our objectives and customer expectations.

To join the Commercial team on this journey of commercial excellence, we are looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our team.

What will you be doing as our new Senior Quantity Surveyor?

As our new Senior Quantity Surveyor, you’ll act as the commercial conscious to the integrated delivery team, providing commercial support to both the delivery management and on-site delivery teams. Ensuring that operations are carried out to control costs, maximise value, minimise future liabilities and maintain the required standard of quality and safety, you’ll also oversee full compliance with the Alliance and Anglian Water governance procedures on a consistent basis.

Key responsibilities:

1. Manage all aspects of commercial and cost management of a project or group of projects as designated by the Project Commercial Manager.
2. Ensure robust cost management processes are always undertaken with accurate and timely reports, data and analysis on hand to assist in commercial decisions.
3. Ensure that all project team members (including site staff) understand the contractual arrangements, in order to satisfy Client & Partner organisation requirements.
4. Work in collaboration with the Delivery Team to identify, implement and monitor efficiency plans throughout the lifecycle of a project or programme of projects.
5. Ensure that proper records (including final accounts) are kept and maintained so financial information for audits and cost assurance is readily available.

A little bit about your skills, experience and behaviours…

To be considered for this position, you’ll have extensive experience in managing costs. While a degree (or equivalent) in an engineering/management/cost discipline would be beneficial, the passion and desire to pursue a career in Commercial Management is more important.

Showcasing your first-class customer service and leadership skills, you’ll have an in-depth knowledge of construction and safety and be comfortable challenging processes, practices, and norms to improve the overall commercial offering to the business.

If you have a passion to pursue a career in Commercial Management and make a real impact in an industry-leading alliance, please apply today!
