You will support corrective actions to minimise impact on the Project critical path. The Quantity Surveyor will report to the Critical Path Lead, providing intelligence, support, and advice.

??       Support and coordinate Critical Path resources to meet agreed targets

??       Prepare and support monthly review evaluation reports/schedules and flow forecasts for submission to the Delivery Integration team

??       Attend and influence meetings.

??       Have a good working understanding of contract and commercial law and apply this knowledge practically.

??       What are we looking for?

??       Questioning attitude

??       Ability to understand complex schedules

??       Financial and Commercial awareness

??       IT skills ??? MS Office (Word, Excel, Visio etc.), Primavera P6 (not essential)

??       The ability to work well as part of a team

??       The ability to work under their own initiative, with minimal supervision
