Senior Cost Manager / Quantity Surveyor – Data Center Construction
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cost Manager / Quantity Surveyor to support the successful delivery of complex data centre construction projects. This role will be responsible for managing all commercial and cost-related activities throughout the project lifecycle, from initial feasibility and procurement through to construction, commissioning and final account settlement. The successful candidate will work closely with project managers, designers, contractors, consultants and specialist suppliers to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on budget and to the required quality standards.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining detailed cost plans, budgets, forecasts and cash-flow projections; reviewing design information and identifying cost-saving opportunities; preparing and evaluating tenders, procurement strategies, contracts, variations and claims; and monitoring expenditure against approved budgets. You will lead commercial reporting, assess financial risks, track commitments and provide clear, accurate advice to senior stakeholders. The role will also involve reviewing contractor applications for payment, managing change control, supporting negotiations, maintaining accurate cost records and overseeing the preparation of final accounts. A strong understanding of data centre construction, including mission-critical infrastructure, electrical and mechanical services, fit-out, civil works and specialist systems, will be highly valued.
Applicants should hold a degree or professional qualification in quantity surveying, commercial management, construction economics or a related discipline, together with substantial experience in major construction or infrastructure projects. Experience working on data centres, high-technology facilities or other technically complex environments is preferred. Professional accreditation, such as membership of a recognised surveying or construction body, would be advantageous. You will need strong analytical, contractual and negotiation skills, commercial awareness and excellent attention to detail. The ability to manage competing priorities, communicate confidently with stakeholders at all levels and work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment is essential. Proficiency in relevant cost management, estimating and reporting software will also be expected.
