• Collaborate with GP Joule’s German procurement team to support strategic sourcing and ensure alignment with group-wide procurement strategies and contractual standards.
• Ensure contract and compliance excellence, including preparing and managing documentation, upholding health & safety and specification standards, and maintaining accurate records in line with company policy.
• Foster strong communication and team development, producing clear commercial reports, engaging with stakeholders, and mentoring junior colleagues to support their growth and success.

• A degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Economics, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 4+ years of post-graduate experience in quantity surveying, ideally with exposure to civil, electrical, or renewable energy projects.
• Strong understanding of contract administration and commercial management, with working knowledge of standard forms of contract including FIDIC and NEC as well as familiarity with methods of measurement, particularly ARM and CESMM.
• Experience in preparing BOQs, tender documentation, and managing subcontractor procurement and contract negotiations.
• Proficiency in QS software and MS Office; ability to interpret technical drawings and contribute to collaborative planning.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with a commitment to continuous learning and improvement as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships across teams and with external partners.
