  • Confident working across both office and site environments
  • Full UK driving licence

What you’ll be doing

  • Commercially supporting civil engineering projects from start through to final account
  • Preparing valuations and applications for payment
  • Managing variations and compensation events
  • Monitoring project costs, forecasts and margins
  • Managing subcontractor packages and accounts
  • Working closely with site teams, project managers and clients
  • Supporting projects across groundworks, drainage, reinforced concrete and external works

You’ll be based from the Derby office with regular travel to sites as required. A car allowance is provided for site travel.
