  • Produce and manage monthly CVRs, cost reports, and cashflow forecasts
  • Oversee valuations and ensure timely client payments
  • Monitor procurement and expenditure against budgets
  • Support the project team to ensure programme and commercial alignment

Post-Construction

  • Lead the agreement of final accounts with subcontractors and client representatives
  • Complete final CVR and cost reconciliation reporting
  • Ensure thorough project close-out and document archiving
  • Finalise all warranty and commercial documentation

Your Approach

You will:

  • Work collaboratively with the supply chain to build long-term relationships
  • Engage closely with clients, consultants, and PQS, ensuring best value delivery
  • Maintain a proactive, "no surprises" approach to cost management
  • Be hands-on and detail-focused, particularly regarding project finances
  • Understand and support programme delivery through commercial input
  • Mentor and develop junior commercial staff
  • Promote a culture of quality, accountability, and high standards
  • Be organised, structured, and solution-focused, addressing issues early

What's on Offer

  • Salary of £100,000+ (flexible depending on experience)

  • Opportunity to lead a complex, flagship £50m redevelopment
  • Strong pipeline of future work providing long-term career prospects
  • Collaborative and high-performing project environment
