Job description

Senior Cost Manager | Miami, Florida

Commercial Construction

Take ownership of cost management delivery within a small, growing Miami office.

We’re recruiting a Senior Cost Manager for an established construction consultancy expanding its Miami team. This role offers autonomy, close collaboration with project management colleagues and the opportunity to help build the local cost management offering.

You’ll focus on commercial projects, bringing confident cost advice and strong client service to a small office environment.

The opportunity

Your first stage will be training and onboarding with the New York team before you join the Miami office.

You’ll initially be the only dedicated cost professional locally, working alongside a small team of project managers. This makes the role well suited to someone senior enough to manage assignments independently and comfortable taking responsibility for client relationships and delivery.

A second cost management hire is planned once you’re established, creating an opportunity to contribute to the team’s development.

Your role will include:

• Preparing cost estimates, cost plans and project budgets.
• Providing procurement advice and managing tender analysis.
• Monitoring project costs, changes and financial forecasts.
• Advising clients throughout the project lifecycle.
• Working closely with project managers, consultants and contractors.

About you

You’re an experienced Senior Cost Manager or Quantity Surveyor with a consultancy background and a strong track record on commercial projects.

You’ll bring sound technical judgement, clear communication and the confidence to manage your workload independently. You should enjoy working in a small team and taking ownership of your projects.

Location and eligibility

Applications are welcome from candidates already based in Miami, those relocating from another US state and those considering an international move.

US citizens and candidates with existing US work authorisation are welcome to apply. International applicants may also be considered through available visa routes, including E-2 for eligible British nationals and E-3 for eligible Australian nationals, subject to employer and individual eligibility and visa approval.

You must be willing to complete initial training in New York before moving into the Miami role.
