THE OPPORTUNITY
Do not pass up this chance, apply quickly if your experience and skills match what is in the following description.
I'm working with an established national construction consultancy looking to appoint an experienced Affordable Housing Quantity Surveyor / Cost Manager to help establish and grow its presence within the affordable and social housing sector.
This could suit an existing Director or Sector Lead, but equally it could be an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Associate Director who has developed strong affordable housing experience, understands the sector and is ready to take considerably more ownership of their career.
The successful individual will play a leading role in developing the consultancy's Affordable Housing Cost Management offering, with the opportunity to shape the sector strategy, develop key client relationships and, as the workload grows, build a specialist team around them.
The business already has a strong reputation across Quantity Surveying, Cost Management, Project Management and Development Monitoring, with established teams and delivery capability across the UK.
Affordable Housing forms an important part of the next stage of its growth.
Importantly, this is a strategic investment rather than a vacancy created simply because there is an immediate backlog of projects to deliver.
The leadership team understands that building meaningful relationships with housing associations and registered providers, securing framework appointments and establishing a sustainable pipeline takes time.
There is no expectation that you'll arrive with a substantial order book or immediately generate significant fees.
Instead, the business is prepared to back the right individual and provide the time and support required to establish a credible long-term presence in the sector.
THE ROLE
You'll take a leading role in developing the consultancy's Quantity Surveying and Cost Management presence across affordable housing, social housing and associated residential development programmes.
Working closely with the CEO, existing Directors and the national Cost and Project Management team, you'll have considerable influence over how the Affordable Housing proposition develops.
Responsibilities will include:
- Helping define and develop the Affordable Housing Cost Consultancy strategy.
- Building relationships with housing associations, registered providers, local authorities, developers and other relevant organisations.
- Identifying suitable procurement frameworks and positioning the business for future appointments.
- Leading and contributing to bids, tenders and proposals.
- Identifying opportunities for Quantity Surveying, Cost Management and associated Project Management services.
- Providing senior-level commercial and cost consultancy advice. xgikmsk
