You’ll be part of a dynamic and vibrant commercial team, working closely with the Managing Quantity Surveyor to oversee everything from routine maintenance and emergency call-outs to large-scale capital projects. If you're ready to take ownership of budgets, track project performance, and build strong relationships with clients, we want you on board!

What You’ll Do:

• Prepare and submit monthly applications to clients on time – keeping everything on track
• Ensure any changes are captured and submitted, keeping things in line with contract deadlines
• Work your magic estimating and agreeing on schedules of rates
• Build solid relationships with clients and customers, making sure their needs are met
• Provide regular project reports, including CVR and forecasts, to keep everyone in the loop
• Stay on top of direct costs, WIP, and cash collection to ensure financial health
• Manage risks and the EWN (Early Warning Notification) process with precision
• Offer contractual support to the operations team to keep things running smoothly
• Attend weekly commercial and operational meetings – your voice will be heard!
• Take the lead on procurement and management of subcontract accounts
• Tackle any other tasks as needed – no two days are the same!

What You Bring:

• Self-motivated with great time management skills
• Financially astute with an eye for accuracy and detail
• Strong communicator – you know how to keep things clear and concise
• Comfortable working to deadlines and delivering under pressure
• Experience with routine and non-routine works (planned, emergency, and capital schemes) is a plus, but not essential
• Tech-savvy and experienced with software like Mayrise or Confirm (desirable but not essential)
• Knowledge of NEC4 term service contracts (desirable, but not essential)

If you’re ready to make an impact with a team that values your expertise and offers plenty of room to grow, we’d love to hear from you!
