  • Liaise with design teams, consultants, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on budget and within financial parameters.
  • Conduct tender analysis and make recommendations to support contractor appointments.
  • Monitor project budgets, carry out valuations, manage variations, and ensure accurate forecasting.
  • Oversee financial reporting and support the development team with feasibility and investment appraisals.
  • Attend site and project meetings regularly to ensure cost control measures are being followed.
  • Contribute to commercial strategy and assist in developing internal processes and systems as the business continues to grow.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Minimum 10 years’ post-qualification experience, ideally with a main contractor background.

  • Strong commercial acumen with a practical understanding of construction delivery.
  • Comfortable managing multiple projects at different stages simultaneously.

  • Desire to move into a client-side or developer-led role, with ambition to play a long-term part in shaping a growing property portfolio.
  • MRICS/Chartered status desirable but not essential.
