Offer description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Wates have an opportunity for a Project Surveyor to join our Wates team within our Planned Maintenance division. You will be working in the Cambridgeshire area on our social housing contracts. You will be expected to take accountability for the development and implementation of all pre and post contract strategies, commercial functions, and contract reporting.

Key Accountabilities will include:

* Develop and encourage project team performance, ensuring that Wates’ main contractual obligations and strategies are executed and regularly reviewed
* Complete and submit monthly Cost Value Reconciliation (CVR) and progress reports
* Demonstrate understanding of internal and external tender strategies / build-up
* Agree external valuations / cash flow to maximize project value
* Work with the Commercial Manager to agree and produce main and subcontract final accounts
* Ensure all Wates subcontract management / process obligations are complete, with particular reference to Procurement, Measurement and Valuation, Contractual instructions / notices / orders, as well as Health and Safety

To be successful in this role, you will already have relevant commercial skills and experience, including the ability to maximize value recovery, cost control, and cash management, as well as effectively using and understanding financial reports and final accounts. Social housing retrofit experience is essential, and SHDF experience is preferable but not mandatory.

Alongside this, you will be a confident communicator, able to demonstrate the ability to form and develop relationships with the client, Project Surveyors, design team, and supply chain. You will also be committed to leading and developing commercial site teams.

Given the nature of this position, you will need to undergo a Basic Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS) at offer stage. Applicants with criminal convictions will be assessed individually, and we assure you that we do not discriminate based on criminal record or disclosed offenses. Additional pre-employment checks may also be required.
