Core Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain strong client relationships, acting as the primary point of contact.
• Lead and chair meetings, demonstrating strong leadership and conflict-resolution skills when required.
• Oversee pre- and post-contract services, ensuring cost control, valuation processes, and reporting are handled effectively.
• Manage cost checks, conduct valuations, negotiate final accounts, and implement change control processes.
• Demonstrate excellent communication skills (both written and verbal) and the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.

Skills & Experience Required:

• MRICS qualified or working towards APC.
