Requirements:
- Experience in a commercial, quantity surveying, estimating, buying or procurement role - ideally in interiors, fit-out or modular construction
- Working knowledge of construction contracts and JCT Design & Build principles (career QS not required).
- Commercially astute and confident negotiating; comfortable challenging costs and established process.
- Able to read drawings, specs and scopes, and spot omissions or commercial risk.
- Numerate, with strong analysis of costs, margins and commercial performance.
- Highly organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple projects at once.
- Collaborative, but confident enough to bring independent commercial challenge.
Responsibilities:
- Own subcontractor and supplier pricing, tendering, negotiation and appointment.
- Build robust scopes and tender packages, then obtain, compare and negotiate quotations to secure best value.
- Partner with Project Managers and Operations to maintain commercial control from pre-construction to completion.
- Manage subcontractor commercial performance - variations, change control, valuations and final accounts.
- Spot commercial risks, overspend and scope gaps early, and drive action to fix them.

- Produce concise commercial reporting on procurement status, savings, margin and risk.
