• Attend site visits and surveys where required.
• Contribute to continual improvement of estimating tools, cost databases, and benchmarking.
• Work collaboratively with project delivery, commercial, and asset management teams.

• Some experience in construction, refurbishment, building maintenance, or a related discipline (could be site‑based, commercial, or technical).
• Numerate, analytical mindset with good attention to detail.
• Enthusiastic, positive attitude with a genuine desire to learn and develop.
• Comfortable working with data, spreadsheets, and technical information.
