Our direct delivery model is at the core of everything we do, as we believe that people are our greatest asset. Therefore, we robustly source, train and retain all our own frontline delivery teams as well as management and support services. We employ over 1,200 employees nationwide.

We possess a range of specialist skills to support our civil engineering and infrastructure activities, including:

• Tunnelling
• MEICA

• Strong career progression as demonstrated by our track record in promoting from within, as we believe this is a key driver of our success

Here within the @one Alliance we are a totally collaborative organisation made up of our eight partner companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska and SWECO) and our extended supply chain, delivering over half of Anglian Water's capital investment programme.

We are gearing up for our most exciting and challenging Asset Management Period yet, known as AMP 8, this will see us deliver a programme of work larger than we've ever delivered before. We are driving change, empowering us to set global benchmarks and build a better environment, with the opportunity to offer enhanced growth and development to our workforce. We're looking to build on our existing teams with an environment for career progression.

As we move into this exciting and challenging period for the Water industry, it is essential our commercial and cost management processes and practices remain industry- leading to ensure we not only deliver but outperform against our objectives and customer expectations.

As a Quantity Surveyor in the @one Alliance, you'll act as the commercial conscious to the integrated delivery team, providing commercial support to both the delivery management and on-site delivery teams. Ensuring that that operations are carried out to control costs, maximise value, minimise future liabilities and maintain the required standard of quality and safety, you'll also oversee the full compliance with the Alliance and Anglian Water governance procedures on a consistent basis.

• Manage all aspects of commercial and cost management of a project or group of projects as designated by the Project Commercial Manager.
• Ensure robust cost management processes are always undertaken with accurate and timely reports, data, and analysis on hand to assist in commercial decisions.
• Ensure that all project team members (including site staff) understand the contractual arrangements, to satisfy Client & Partner organisation requirements.
• Work in collaboration with the Delivery Team to identify, implement and monitor efficiency plans throughout the lifecycle of a project or programme of projects.
• Ensuring that proper records (including final accounts) are kept & maintained so financial information for audits and cost assurance is readily available.

• Extensive experience in managing costs
• In-depth knowledge of construction and safety

• Whilst a Degree (or equivalent) in an engineering/ management/ cost discipline would be beneficial, the passion and desire to pursue a career in Commercial Management is more important.

Our values have been embedded at Barhale for over 40 years, and they are our guiding principles regarding how we care and invest in people. Our values are our commitment to being a people-centric company.
