• Benefits: Comprehensive package featuring fantastic company perks, including an annual ski trip and full support for your MRICS / APC journey.

The Projects

You will be stepping onto an exciting, diverse portfolio spanning:

• Sectors: Co-Living, Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), Build to Rent (BTR), Industrial & Logistics (I&L), Education, and Commercial Offices.

• Scale: Projects typically ranging from 50 to 500+ units, with values between £20m and £100m.

Key Responsibilities

• Procurement and full tender process management

• Administration of JCT Design & Build (D&B) contracts

• Interim valuations and payment notices

• Variations and rigorous change management

• Monthly cost reporting and accurate cash flow forecasting

• Carbon management and sustainable commercial tracking (training provided)

Candidate Requirements

• Professional Status: MRICS qualification is desirable, or actively working towards your APC.

• Background: Cost consultancy background preferred, though we are very open to considering contractor-side QSs looking to make the move across to consultancy.

• Contractual Knowledge: Solid experience with JCT forms of contract (residential new build or cut-and-carve exposure is a distinct bonus).
