Managing the commercial performance of allocated projects

Managing the tendering process

Reviewing and leading tender adjudications

Reviewing commercial information produced by the wider team

Working closely with the Commercial Manager on commercial governance and reporting

Supporting and developing Assistant Quantity Surveyors, Graduates and Apprentices

Providing leadership, guidance and commercial direction to less experienced members of the team

Helping establish and improve commercial processes within the growing division
