• Prepare Take-offs & BOQs: Produce detailed take-offs and Bills of Quantities (BOQs), presenting them clearly to clients.
• Budget Management: Work with our team to ensure projects remain within budget.
• Subcontractor Management: Manage subcontractor tenders and contracts, primarily JCT.
• Variation Communication: Compile costs and communicate any site variations to management and clients.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: At least 3 years in a similar UK-based role (international experience alone will not be considered).
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in Bluebeam or Cubit (welcomed but training will be provided) or equivalent take-off software, along with strong skills in Excel, Word, and general ICT.
• Industry Knowledge: In-depth understanding of UK building practices and regulations, with the ability to read and interpret all types of construction drawings.

• Mobility: A full UK Driving Licence and the ability to travel to sites a few times a month.

Additional Information:

• Site Travel: You will need to travel to sites a few times a month and attend scheduled meetings.
