- 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/complex build environments
- Experience working on life science, laboratory, or high-specification technical builds is highly advantageous
- Degree/HNC level qualification and/or significant relevant experience
- Experience managing change and subcontract accounts
- Good working knowledge of JCT contracts, or bespoke contracts based on JCT principles
- Candidates with Commercial Manager-level experience are encouraged to apply and will be considered for a higher package
Salary & Benefits

- £300 per month car allowance (non-car, fixed)
