ABOUT THE COMPANY
The business has been trading for over 25 years, remains privately owned and is currently turning over around £150 million per annum specialising with in reinforced concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction and demolition. The have offices based in North West London and a regional office in the Northern Home Counties and cover work in the city centre all the way out to Cambridge, Oxford, Bedfordshire and areas in between. Package values vary depending on works involved but their current largest schemes include all of their specialist works and is estimated to value around £50 million on one project over the next two years.
Outside of the standard facts of this business, I have maintained a close working relationship with the MD (who is a loyal well-respected individual with in this sector) and directors for over 15 years and have seen them double in size and capability in this time. They have a close nit team that all work well together from directorship level down to site and what really stands out about them is their ongoing focus to deliver complex commercial projects with real technical capability, rather than only traditional residential frames. They really are a superb company to work for and with. The MD and all the directors really take the time to get to know everyone in the company and continually look at ways to develop people to their maximum potential. Because of this, their staff retention is well above the average in the sector.
ABOUT THE ROLE
I am looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor or a Commercial Manager who is interested in joining an established concrete frame and groundwork subcontractor based on the borders of London with offices in North West London and in Bedfordshire (this position will be based at the Bedfordshire office). Your position in the business will report directly to the group director who oversees this complete side of the business and you will be responsible for overseeing a selection of concrete frame or groundwork packages from precontract stages through to the final accounts. There is room for progression with this business as they are currently turning over around £150 million and they are looking for someone to take a lead role in the commercial team from this office but you will still be expected to get involved with surveying your own schemes and helping this division grow. We are looking for career-focused individuals who want the opportunity to be part of a close-knit team that is all working towards expanding this already great businesses name in this competitive sector.
So, if you are an experienced groundwork or concrete frame senior quantity surveyor or commercial manager and you want to join a growing business with lots of opportunities for people to develop, this could be the perfect option.
REQUIREMENTS
To be successful individuals need to have worked for rival groundwork or concrete frame subcontractors in the UK as a Senior Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager. Your hard work will be rewarded and opportunity will be there but this previous experience in this sector is a must. Due to the technical nature of the position, it is also crucial that all applicants are degree qualified in quantity surveying or commercial management. And due to the location of our client’s office, it is also advisable that applicants are based in or around Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire or neighbouring areas to make the journey to their office a sensible one. Travel in and around working areas will be expected for site visits but it is expected that a certain proportion of time will be at the office.
REWARDS AND BENEFITS
For this opportunity, I am targeting anyone looking to earn between £80,000 to £120,000 per annum. This bracket is flexible and starting figures will be based on experience and previous history but in addition to this our client is offering a comprehensive package including the usual’s such as pension but also a structured bonus scheme.
If you would prefer a self-employed payment method, we can consider people on a limited company basis with pay rates averaging around £400 to £500 per day. But aside from the earning potential, this opportunity really does offer the right person an exciting career option with a fantastic organisation.
