About the business
You will be joining an independent global consultancy specialising in project, cost and construction management for nearly two centuries. With its U.S. headquarters in New York and offices across major U.S. markets, the firm delivers billions of dollars of development across commercial, hospitality, leisure, and residential sectors and is known for long‑term client relationships.
About the role
Title will depend on experience (Cost Manager, Senior Cost Manager, Associate Director or Director). In all cases you will lead cost management on multiple projects from early feasibility and cost planning through to final account, own budgets, cost plans and forecasting, attend and lead design and client meetings, and mentor junior team members within a fast‑paced, client‑focused environment.
* Lead cost management on multiple projects, from early feasibility and cost planning through to final account.
* Own budgets, cost plans, forecasting and reporting, providing clear recommendations to clients.
* Work in a faster‑paced environment where clients value timely, commercially focused advice over “perfect” reports, and where lump‑sum contracts and fewer detailed BOQs are the norm.
* Attend and lead design and client meetings, representing the cost management function and challenging assumptions where needed.
* Mentor and develop junior team members, contributing to a collaborative, high‑performance culture.
Senior Level Responsibilities
* Take a visible leadership role across the team and key accounts.
* Play a part in business development – repeat work, new opportunities, and helping shape how the New York cost management offer grows.
* Influence internal best practice, tools and processes as the team scales.
About you
* Currently working for a PQS / cost consultancy or client‑side team in the UK or Ireland.
* Operating at strong Cost Manager / Senior Cost Manager / Associate Director level, with roughly 5–12 years’ relevant experience.
* Chartered (MRICS) or close to it, comfortable owning cost advice and defending your position with clients and contractors.
* Pragmatic and commercially minded, willing to adapt to the faster New York pace while maintaining rigorous standards.
* Motivated by the opportunity for genuine career growth and new market experience, not merely a pay bump.
