Senior Cost Manager / Quantity Surveyor - Commercial Construction
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cost Manager / Quantity Surveyor to support the successful delivery of major commercial construction projects from early feasibility through to completion. This is a senior position requiring strong commercial judgement, technical expertise and the ability to manage cost, risk and contractual matters across complex developments. You will work closely with project managers, designers, contractors, consultants and clients to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with agreed budgets and timescales.
Your responsibilities will include preparing cost plans, feasibility estimates, budgets and procurement strategies; managing tendering and contract award processes; reviewing contractor and subcontractor pricing; and maintaining accurate cost reports, forecasts and cash-flow projections. You will monitor project expenditure, assess variations and compensation events, manage valuations and payment applications, and support the preparation and settlement of final accounts. The role will also involve identifying commercial risks, advising on mitigation strategies, reviewing contractual obligations and producing clear reports for senior stakeholders. You may be required to lead junior quantity surveyors and contribute to improving commercial procedures, controls and reporting standards.
Applicants should hold a relevant degree or professional qualification in quantity surveying, commercial management, construction or a related discipline, with substantial experience in commercial construction. Membership of a recognised professional body, or progress towards chartered status, would be advantageous. You will have a strong understanding of construction contracts, procurement routes, cost management principles and industry standards, together with experience using estimating, cost-management or project-reporting systems. Excellent analytical, negotiation and communication skills are essential, as is the confidence to influence decisions and build effective working relationships. The successful candidate will be organised, commercially astute and proactive, with the ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.
