  • Work closely with operational teams to ensure smooth project delivery
  • Maintain commercial governance, contractual compliance and company standards
  • Contribute to senior leadership discussions and long‑term business planning
About You
  • Proven experience within residential construction at Senior QS, Managing QS, Chief QS or Commercial Manager level
  • Openness to step up — this role is well suited to someone ready to progress into full commercial leadership
  • Experience working on both developer and client‑led/contract projects
  • Strong contractual, financial and analytical skills
  • Ability to lead, support and develop a commercial team
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management
  • Confidence managing multiple projects and deadlines
