We are seeking a highly skilled and commercially astute Quantity Surveyor with a distinct background in the manufacturing or industrial fabrication sectors.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between traditional construction commercial management and advanced manufacturing processes. Holding a RICS qualification (MRICS/FRICS), you will oversee the financial and contractual management of our manufacturing-led projects, ensuring cost efficiency, maximizing profitability, and maintaining strict adherence to regulatory and quality standards from procurement through to final delivery.
## Key Responsibilities
Commercial & Cost Management: Manage all project costs from initial fabrication estimates to final accounts. Monitor variations, track expenditures, and implement rigorous cost-control procedures tailored to production line and manufacturing environments.
Contract Administration: Review, negotiate, and administer various forms of contracts (e.g., JCT, NEC, or bespoke manufacturing/supply agreements), ensuring mitigation of commercial risk.
Procurement & Supply Chain: Source and negotiate with material suppliers and specialized subcontractors. Analyze raw material price fluctuations (e.g., steel, composites) and factor them into financial forecasting.
Value Engineering: Collaborate with design and production engineering teams to identify cost-saving opportunities through material optimization and lean manufacturing principles without compromising quality.
Financial Reporting: Prepare accurate monthly commercial reports, cash flow forecasts, and earned value analysis for senior leadership.
Risk & Compliance: Maintain a comprehensive risk register, proactively identifying commercial bottlenecks in the production-to-site pipeline. Ensure all operations align with RICS professional standards and code of conduct
