Conrad Consulting has partnered with a major international consultancy expanding its New York operation.

Building cost plans, budgets and procurement strategy

Assessing tenders and managing contractor relationships

Owning cost reporting, forecasting and final accounts

Advising clients directly and presenting to senior stakeholders

Mentoring junior QSs and Cost Managers

Requirements of the Associate Cost Manager

QS degree + 7+ years in Cost Management (consultancy/PQS background a plus)

Strong track record on large-scale real estate projects, pre- and post-contract

Confident, client-facing, commercially sharp

CostX/RIB/Procore experience useful; MRICS a bonus, not essential

On offer for the Associate Cost Manager

Up to $180,000 + annual bonus

E2 Visa sponsored (5 years, spouse included)
