Strong commercial awareness, with the ability to monitor costs, margins, forecasts and project performance
Confident communication skills, with the ability to liaise with clients, subcontractors and internal project teams
Good attention to detail and the ability to maintain accurate commercial records
Competence with Excel and commercial trackers / reporting tools
A relevant QS, commercial, construction or engineering qualification would be desirable but is not essential
