Senior Quantity Surveyor – SEH Commercial

SEH Commercial is a business with big ambitions. We have grown quickly from a start-up to circa £10m with support from our sister companies who are all part of One Group Construction (OGC). OGC is a vibrant, highly successful group of construction related businesses based in East Anglia but working throughout the UK.

Our commercial fenestration business, SEH Commercial, now needs to build an in-house commercial team to manage the financial and commercial aspects of the whole company. Working closely with the Board, this is a wonderful opportunity to be part of a growing business with the support of a very strong Group with experts in every field just a phone call away.

Even more exciting is the fact the opportunity can lead to ownership in the business in the medium term for the right candidate. At Board level, our Directors own part of their businesses and reap the benefits of that ownership. If you are looking for a career ‘game changer’, you are in the right place.   

The role is based in Ipswich but will involve strong connections with sites to ensure that opportunities and pitfalls are identified early and commercial support is always available for our site teams.

Currently, the majority of the commercial management of our contracts is provided by external QS consultants. We have now out grown that model so it’s time to take control. We need someone to lead that transition and build a strong in-house capability.  

Main Duties:

  • Manage a team of commercial and financial staff
  • Providing commercial training and support throughout the business
  • Review of Pre-Tender and Post secured contract client documentation.
  • On-site measurement and measurement of drawings as required
  • Identifying potential risks and evaluate options for control
  • Feasibility studies of clients requests
  • Preparation of Subcontracts
  • Analysing sub-contractors quotations 
  • Preparation and agreeing variation accounts
  • Preparation and agreeing of interim valuations and final accounts
  • Prepare and issue certification for contract payments to sub-contractors
  • Providing evidence for resolution of disputes
  • Ensure all work complies with quality, safety and environmental policies and the requirements of the company procedure

Are you the person we are looking for?

We’re after an ambitious individual with great communication skills, who is confident with a flexible approach.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate innovative approaches to problem solving and the ability to negotiate across the various levels of any construction environment as well as handle the financial and mathematical demands of the role by possessing impressive numeracy and IT skills.

The ideal candidate must have strong relevant sector experience and RICS or ICES would be desirable but not essential.

We also offer some fantastic perks!

We don’t just offer a competitive salary and great place to work with a family feel atmosphere, we also offer life assurance cover (4 x annual salary), company car or car allowance, company pension scheme (we match up to 5%), 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, childcare voucher scheme, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

If this sounds like you, and you would like to join a well-established, positive, no nonsense company, then we want to hear from you!

We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships. We also place high importance on our inclusive recruitment policy and will do our very best to support those applicants who may need adjustments in order to take part in the recruitment process. Please do let us know if you require any additional assistance or adjustments on 01473 238300.
