Role description:

Qualifications & Experience:

You will ideally have a degree in Quantity Surveying, Accountancy or a related discipline. Professional membership such as MRICS, ACCA or FCA would be advantageous but is not essential, and continued professional development will be supported.

You will also bring:

  • Experience of cost systems such as COINS, SAP, ICON or Oracle
  • Strong Microsoft Excel skills
  • Knowledge of target cost or cost-reimbursable construction contracts
