Job Description
A rapidly growing retail group is looking for a Cost Manager to join them in-house. Someone who’s ready to wrangle budgets, tame spreadsheets and keep construction projects marching to plan. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring new stores, refurbishments and relocations are delivered on time, on budget and preferably with minimal drama!
What You'll Be Doing
* Crunch numbers at the concept stage and weigh-in on early designs and options
* Build monthly reports that tell the story behind the figures
* Navigate contracts and procurement
* Help keep projects legally watertight and regulation-compliant
* Work with internal stakeholders and external consultants (yes, occasionally herding cats)
What You’ll Need
* A degree in Quantity Surveying (or similar)
* 3–5 years’ experience in cost management, ideally with retail or construction projects over £1 million but this isn’t a dealbreaker
* Comfortable with the RIBA work stages and building regulations
* Membership with RICS? Gold star. Working towards it? Still great. There’s Full APC support for those who aren’t yet chartered
Perks
* Access to health and fitness programmes (because wellness isn’t just for weekends)
* Monthly recognition schemes and performance-based bonuses
* Invitations to team events that go beyond terrible coffee and awkward icebreakers
