* Monitor progress and variations, resolving any contractual or financial disputes in a timely manner.

* Ensure proper documentation is maintained for DFG claims and auditing purposes.

Project Monitoring & Reporting:

* Track project performance, including timelines, cost projections, and variations.

* Provide regular financial and project updates to the client, project manager, and relevant stakeholders.

* Prepare final accounts and settlement of the project, ensuring accurate financial closeout.

Regulatory Compliance & Standards:

* Ensure all projects adhere to building regulations, health and safety standards, and DFG requirements.

* Liaise with local authorities, Occupational Therapists, and other regulatory bodies to ensure that the adaptations meet all statutory requirements.

Client & Stakeholder Engagement:

* Work closely with clients, particularly disabled individuals and their families, to ensure that their specific requirements are met within the scope of the grant.

* Act as the main point of contact for all financial aspects of the project, fostering positive relationships with clients, contractors, and local authorities.

Requirements:

Education: Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or a related field.

Professional Accreditation: RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) or CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building) membership preferred.

Experience: Proven experience working in quantity surveying roles, preferably in residential adaptations, housing projects, or DFG-funded schemes.

Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of the DFG framework, building regulations, and health & safety standards for disabled adaptations.

Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical details to non-specialist stakeholders, including disabled clients and their families.

IT Skills: Proficient in MS Office, project management software, and cost-estimating tools such as CostX or similar.

Desirable:
