The Role

Reporting directly to the Commercial Manager for the Gas Division, the Managing Quantity Surveyor will lead the quantity surveying team to ensure the effective commercial and cost management of projects in line with NEC frameworks.

  4. Enhance Project Controls: Ensure accurate reporting on project progress, work done, and estimated costs-to-complete. Utilise robust controls to track contract status, revenue, costs, and obligations.
  5. NEC Contract Administration: Manage contract change processes, including early warnings, payment certificates, and compensation events. Ensure that all notifications and quotes are aligned with NEC requirements and client expectations.
  6. Manage Subcontractor Compliance: Monitor and enforce compliance with subcontractor agreements, ensuring all financial documentation is thorough and audit-ready.
  7. Stakeholder Engagement and Support: Collaborate with internal teams to provide timely responses to client requests, making certain that all stakeholders are informed and aligned.
  8. Promote Financial Accuracy and Integrity: Ensure that financial information is complete, accurate, and available for audits. Provide realistic and risk-adjusted estimates for project costs.
  9. Strategic Alignment: Support B-UK's commercial strategy by ensuring that project goals, targets, and objectives are consistently achieved. Address and escalate any disputed or disallowed costs to the Project Manager and Project Board.
  10. Contribute to Project Reviews: Actively participate in contract reviews, providing insights and recommendations on cost control, financial performance, and project progress.
