The Vacancy
Wates has an opportunity for a Project Surveyor to join our team within the Planned Maintenance division. You will be working in the Cambridgeshire area on social housing contracts. You will be responsible for developing and implementing pre and post contract strategies, managing commercial functions, and contract reporting.
Key Accountabilities include:
1. Develop and monitor project team performance, ensuring contractual obligations and strategies are executed and reviewed regularly.
2. Complete and submit monthly Cost Value Reconciliation (CVR) and progress reports.
3. Understand internal and external tender strategies.
4. Agree on external valuations and cash flow to maximize project value.
5. Collaborate with the Commercial Manager to produce final accounts for main and subcontractor agreements.
6. Ensure subcontract management and process obligations are met, including procurement, measurement, valuation, contractual instructions, notices, orders, and health and safety.
To succeed, you should have relevant commercial skills and experience, including maximizing value recovery, cost control, and cash management.
