• Knowledge of NEC, FIDIC, or similar contract forms.
• Experience working on large-scale European projects.
• Exposure to project controls and earned value reporting.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and manage BOQs, budgets, forecasts, profit plans, and commercial reports.
• Lead interim commercial meetings with clients and project teams.
• Manage subcontractor accounts, interim valuations, payment applications, and final accounts.
• Prepare accurate monthly applications including remeasures, dayworks, variations, and commercial claims.
• Identify commercial risks and escalate issues where required.
• Work closely with Planning Engineers to ensure commercial reporting aligns with project progress.
• Cost and agree site changes, variation orders, and subcontractor remeasurements.
• Maintain detailed commercial records and supporting documentation.
• Negotiate commercial matters with clients, consultants, and subcontractors.
• Monitor project performance and support profitability objectives.
• Provide commercial reporting and updates to project management and senior leadership teams.
• Ensure compliance with company commercial procedures and information security requirements.

About You

• You are a commercially focused Quantity Surveyor who understands the importance of accurate reporting, strong contract administration, and proactive cost management.
• You can manage your workload independently, communicate effectively with project stakeholders, and identify commercial risks before they become project issues.
• You take pride in maintaining accurate records, supporting project teams, and contributing to the successful commercial delivery of major projects.
