The Role
Your responsibilities will include:

• Taking commercial responsibility for a portfolio of projects, managing their financial performance from inception through to completion.
• Preparing applications for payment, valuations and monthly Cost Value Reconciliations (CVRs).
• Managing cost control, forecasting and reporting, including project value, costs, profitability and cash flow.
• Managing subcontractor procurement, including preparing enquiries, negotiating terms and placing subcontract orders.
• Maintaining effective supply chain relationships and monitoring subcontractor performance.
• Managing contractual notifications, change control and associated project documentation.
• Providing contractual and commercial advice to operational teams.
• Supporting risk and value management initiatives to optimise project delivery and commercial outcomes.
• Working closely with site teams, subcontractors and client representatives to resolve commercial issues.
• Ensuring commercial and contractual processes are followed throughout the project lifecycle.

• A degree in Quantity Surveying or an equivalent qualification.
• RICS qualified or currently working towards your APC.
• Experience managing project costs, subcontract procurement and commercial reporting.
• A good understanding of standard forms of construction contracts.

Experience within the water or wider utilities sector would be advantageous, as would familiarity with NEC and/or IChemE contracts.

The Package

• £50,000 - £60,000 basic salary, depending on experience.
• £5,000 car allowance.
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.

• Private healthcare.

The Opportunity
You'll be joining an established infrastructure contractor with a significant presence in the UK water sector, delivering long-term capital investment programmes through a combination of frameworks, joint ventures and strategic partnerships.
