This main contractor is a London-based construction company specializing in new build, refurbishment, and fit-out projects. We have a first-class track record in the leisure, commercial, residential, hospitality, government, and education sectors, with a particular strength in restoring and remodelling historic and listed buildings.

Since our formation in 2005, we have focused on producing a fantastic product rather than simply chasing turnover. We pride ourselves on a "hands-on" leadership style, a loyal supply chain, and a collaborative culture where staff are encouraged to develop long-term careers.

Key Responsibilities:
Feasibility & Proposal: Assist in initial cost planning, site visits, and developing "winning" tender strategies .

Pre-construction: Produce procurement strategy documents, prepare trade package pricing schedules, carry out tender analysis, and issue purchase orders.

Construction Phase: Manage change orders, track the impact of architectural changes on services packages, and prepare periodic valuations.

Financial Reporting: Maintain a "no-surprise" approach by updating monthly cost reports and ensuring accurate internal and external reporting.

Post-construction: Agree final accounts with trade contractors and compile historical cost reports for future reference.

The Ideal Candidate

We want professionals who take great pride in high-quality output and possess the following attributes:

Collaborative: Able to build strong, long-term relationships with clients, consultants, and the supply chain.

Detail-Oriented: A commitment to "Attention to Detail" (ATD) in all financial matters.

Proactive: Highly organized and prepared to act on problems immediately rather than letting them fester.

Supportive: A team player who is helpful, practical, and willing to mentor less experienced members.
