  • Prepare and submit applications, securing payment and variations
  • Manage subcontract accounts through to final account
  • Monitor progress and provide accurate commercial reporting
  • Support negotiation and settlement of the final account with the client
  • For CM-level candidates: broader oversight of the commercial team and project commercial strategy
What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within commercial/construction build environments
  • Experience working on MOD or other secure/government projects is highly advantageous
  • Must hold, or be eligible to obtain, SC Clearance
  • Degree/HNC level qualification and/or significant relevant experience
  • Experience managing change and subcontract accounts
  • Good working knowledge of standard forms of contract (e.g. JCT/NEC)
  • Candidates with Commercial Manager-level experience are encouraged to apply and will be considered for a higher package
Salary & Benefits
  • Up to £95,000 basic salary (SQS) / Up to £108,000 (Commercial Manager)
  • £300 per month car allowance (non-car, fixed)
  • Travel allowance (details available from the hiring manager)
  • Project bonus scheme (details available from the hiring manager)
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Pension with up to 8% employer contribution
