The Opportunity:
You will join a respected commercial team within the London & Home Counties business, supporting both live projects and a growing pipeline of new work.

- Monitor internal expenditure against budget
- Identify opportunities to maximise value and reduce cost
- Operate commercial systems effectively (including COINS)
- Support and coach junior commercial team members
- Manage variations, claims and additional payments
- Ensure full financial closure of projects in line with reporting timetables

- NEC4 or JCT experience
- BSc/HND in Quantity Surveying or similar, and/or RICS membership
- Strong understanding of construction techniques and commercial reporting
- Confident producing site records, cost reports and payment documentation
- Experience with COINS or similar commercial systems
