• Administer contracts, variations, payments, and valuations in line with company processes.

  
  

• Monitor project costs, budgets, and forecasts, providing accurate monthly reporting.

  
  

• Conduct site visits, attend progress meetings, and liaise closely with operational teams.

  
  

• Identify value engineering opportunities and contribute to buildability discussions.

  
  

• Manage risk, commercial reporting, and cost control procedures effectively.

  
  

• Prepare and agree final accounts.

  
  What We’re Looking For

  • Experience as a Quantity Surveyor within the residential sector (developer or contractor).

    
    

  • Strong knowledge of traditional build housing, apartments, or mixed-use residential schemes.

    
    

  • Competent in managing subcontract procurement and commercial administration.

    
    

  • Strong numerical, analytical, and negotiation skills.
