In this line of work, it is common to gain exposure to a wide variety of assignments. This can include projects in multiple sectors, as well as working with a number of unique clients, including main contractors, sub-contractors, and client organisations.

The client base for the business is more biased towards projects in the built environment (i.e. schools, hospitals, residential etc.). However, candidates from all types of mainstream project backgrounds will be considered.

Responsibilities and Duties

As an Associate Director, you will report directly to the Managing Director and be charged with running your own assignments with clients relating to claims on live projects.

You will be expected to provide all of the following services within this role:

  • Providing coaching and training to clients on commercial, contractual, and temporal issues.
  • Report writing and representation of clients in tribunals.
  • Collaborating with solicitors offering expert support in construction-related disputes.
  • Business Development.

Desired Skills and Experience

  • Approximately 10 years postgraduate experience, ideally in Quantity Surveying.
  • Experienced in providing professional construction commercial and contractual advice.
  • Strong knowledge and understanding of typical Quantity Surveying duties including managing variations and changes.
  • Candidates who have been actively involved in projects in the built environment are preferred due to the client's typical workload; however, candidates with differing project experience may also be considered.
  • Formal involvement in managing or supporting in a formal dispute (adjudication, arbitration, litigation, etc.) would be advantageous.
  • Well-presented and articulate individual with the ability to thrive in a client-facing role and communicate effectively with the client.
  • Good experience/knowledge of standard forms of contract such as NEC and JCT is essential.
  • Competent with Microsoft Office packages.

Qualifications/Educational Requirements

  • Qualified to degree level or similar equivalent is desired.
  • Membership to a professional body such as the RICS or similar equivalent OR having studied a Masters in Construction Law would be desirable. Candidates working towards either of these may also be considered.
