Role description:

Join our Cost and Commercial Assurance team and help clients make informed commercial decisions across a variety of sectors.

Working alongside a Senior Cost Consultant, you will support the delivery of cost verification commissions, analysing complex financial information, assessing contractual compliance and presenting clear, evidence-based findings and recommendations.

Role accountabilities:

  • Manage defined areas of cost verification commissions

  • Support and mentor junior colleagues
  • Travel to client sites and other UK locations when required

 

Qualifications & Experience:

You will ideally have a degree in Quantity Surveying, Accountancy or a related discipline. Professional membership such as MRICS, ACCA or FCA would be advantageous but is not essential, and continued professional development will be supported.

You will also bring:

  • Experience of cost systems such as COINS, SAP, ICON or Oracle
  • Strong Microsoft Excel skills
  • Knowledge of target cost or cost-reimbursable construction contracts
  • The ability to analyse and interpret complex data
  • Strong organisation and attention to detail
