- Opportunity to manage project packages with increasing autonomy
- Structured training and professional development support
- Supportive and collaborative team environment
- Strong client‑facing exposure and stakeholder engagement opportunities
What the Company Looks For
- Minimum 2 years’ experience in a Surveying or similar commercial role
- Strong understanding of construction processes, ideally within dry lining, SFS, or façade systems
- Experience managing project costs, budgets, and commercial reporting
- Ability to prepare and submit Applications for Payment
- Experience assessing and pricing variations
- Good understanding of contracts and subcontractor management
- Strong commercial awareness and analytical skills
- Proficient in Excel and reporting tools
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills
- HNC, Degree, or working towards a construction‑related qualification (supported)
What You'll Get
- £40,000 – £70,000 salary (depending on experience)
- Competitive benefits package
- Clear career progression opportunities
- Professional development and training support
- Exposure to complex, high‑profile construction projects
- Supportive team environment with long‑term career prospects
