Why this role is different here
Most QS roles are structured around recovering margin that was never priced. Ours is not. We name our risks as line items with owners and cost ranges, and we publish an assumptions page with every tender.
That means your variations are usually defensible from the file rather than invented after the fact — and it means when a client pushes back you have something to point at.
It also means we lose tenders to underpriced competitors several times a year. You will watch it happen. Some of those projects come back to us.
What you will own
Two active packages, their subcontract accounts, and the monthly cost report that goes to the board. You will be the person who knows what the job is actually costing, which makes you the person everybody checks with before committing to anything.
One thing we will ask of you
We pay subcontractors on the agreed date. If we dispute a claim we write down why, rather than going quiet and letting the date pass. Enforcing that internally is part of this job, and occasionally it means telling your own team something they do not want to hear.
