Sub-Contractor & Supplier Negotiation: Leverage your industry networks to secure the best outcomes for materials and specialist labour
Contract Review: Rigorously analyse tender documentation and project specifications to mitigate risk and ensure high-margin delivery
Stakeholder Management: Act as a key point of contact for Tier 1 Project Managers and Quantity Surveyors, maintaining the firm’s "trusted partner" status

Requirements:

Deep Construction Knowledge: A thorough understanding of how Tier 1 projects are sequenced and delivered
Significant experience in interior fit-out packages (Walls, Ceilings, and Joinery/Openings) is highly regarded
Commercial Acumen: You understand the "why" behind the numbers, with the ability to spot risks and opportunities in complex contracts
Software Proficiency: Advanced skills in modern estimating and measurement software (e.g., Bluebeam, CostX, or similar)
