* Building and maintaining strong relationships with existing and new clients
* Identifying and securing new business opportunities
* Managing variations, valuations, and final accounts
* Supporting operational teams to ensure projects are delivered on time, safely, and within budget
* Taking ownership of the commercial function with scope to develop systems and processes
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience in a Contracts Manager or Quantity Surveyor role within Civil Engineering, Demolition, and Groundworks / Infrastructure
* Strong commercial awareness with experience in estimating/tendering, cost control and reporting, client‑facing work, and ability to win work as well as deliver it
* Self‑sufficient and capable of “hitting the ground running”
* Comfortable working in a standalone or leadership capacity
* Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills
* Full UK Driving Licence
Why Join?
* Genuine opportunity to step into a senior, influential position
* Freedom to build and shape your own department
* Direct access to decision‑makers within the business
* A varied role combining commercial, operational and client‑facing responsibilities
* Long‑term progression as the business continues to grow
