Quantity Surveyor in Northwich

Location: South Manchester
Salary: £50,000 to £55,000 per annum
Benefits: Car Allowance, Healthcare and Pension

If you are an experienced Quantity Surveyor who likes having ownership of your projects and managing the commercial side properly from procurement through to final account, this could be a good opportunity for you.

You will be joining an established construction business from their South Manchester office, working across multiple projects throughout the North West.

Ideally, your background will be within industrial or commercial construction. That is not essential if you have strong transferable experience from another construction sector and can demonstrate that you understand the commercial management of projects.

You will ideally live within around an hour's commute of South Manchester and be comfortable travelling to projects across the North West when required.

The salary is £50,000 to £55,000 per annum, plus car allowance, healthcare and pension.

You will need a Quantity Surveying related degree and ideally around 10 years of industry experience.

You should have a good understanding of JCT contracts and subcontracts and be comfortable taking commercial responsibility for your own projects.

Your experience should include procurement, subcontractor management, valuations, variations, forecasting and cost reporting.

You will also need experience managing the commercial requirements of several projects concurrently. This is important as you will not simply be concentrating on one project at a time.

Industrial or commercial construction experience would be preferred, although the business is open to considering Quantity Surveyors from other sectors where the skills and project experience are genuinely transferable.

You will take commercial responsibility for a number of construction projects across the North West.

You will manage procurement and subcontract packages, deal with valuations and variations, monitor project costs and produce accurate forecasts and cost reports.

You will work with JCT contracts and subcontracts and make sure the commercial position of each project is properly managed throughout its lifecycle.

As you will be looking after multiple projects concurrently, you need to be organised and comfortable moving between different schemes while maintaining a clear understanding of where each one stands commercially.

You will work closely with the operational teams, subcontractors and clients, giving you involvement across the full commercial delivery of your projects rather than being restricted to one part of the Quantity Surveying process.

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of your projects, make commercial decisions and play an important role in their successful delivery.
