• Producing CVRs and cost reports

• Variations and change control

• Procurement of materials and specialist subcontractors

• Client applications and payment notices

• Supporting tender pricing where required

You’ll be commercially driving projects, not just reporting numbers.

Why This Role

• £40,000 – £60,000 depending on experience

• Strong pipeline of regional projects

• Direct exposure to complex ground engineering packages
