You enjoy the numbers side of construction but you also like getting out to site, speaking with project teams and understanding how a job really works. You want exposure to procurement, cost reporting, subcontractor management and the commercial decisions that shape a project.

You will review drawings and tender documents, help prepare subcontract packages and analyse quotations from subcontractors and suppliers. You will assist with subcontractor procurement, preparing subcontract orders and supporting the wider commercial process. As projects move forward you will help monitor project costs against budgets, assist with monthly valuations and contribute to cost reporting and cash flow forecasting. The role also includes regular site visits where you will review progress, support valuations and work closely with project managers and site managers to keep projects commercially on track.
