* Experience with valuations, variations, cost reporting and subcontractor accounts

* Confident working across both office and site environments

* Full UK driving licence

What you’ll be doing

* Commercially supporting civil engineering projects from start through to final account

* Preparing valuations and applications for payment

* Managing variations and compensation events

* Monitoring project costs, forecasts and margins

* Managing subcontractor packages and accounts

* Working closely with site teams, project managers and clients

* Supporting projects across groundworks, drainage, reinforced concrete and external works

You’ll be based from the Derby office with regular travel to sites as required. A car allowance is provided for site travel.
