Client-Side Cost Manager

M2 Partnership has been instructed by one of our most respected clients to recruit for a Flexible-Working Client-Side Quantity Surveyor to not only manage their huge property portfolio but to also manage external consultants within their London team. Perhaps your progression has been hampered by the recent pandemic or you are just tired of being just a ‘fee earner’ and are looking to step away from the day-to-day hustle of the consultancy grind or just to put simply are just looking for a well-balanced 9-5 role?  Perhaps this opportunity could be for you?

Well look no further, our client is a UKs top 5 Landlords that boast over 5000 properties. This includes commercial offices, high-end residential properties, several restaurants, Heritage buildings, & industrial units ranging over 100,000 sq. ft.

THE CANDIDATE

The successful candidate will be expected to work under pressure and to tight deadlines. Deliver each project safely as well as monitoring each contractor’s performance throughout each of the construction stages. Our client would love someone who has been working for a consultancy and is looking to make the switch to client-side or perhaps someone who is already working client-side in a similar role. If you have achieved MRICS status via the QS route this would be seen as an advantage. They are looking for someone who is similarly technically minded to their current property team.

THE OPPORTUNITY

You will be expected to program manage a high volume of their portfolio and ideally have a proven track record of dealing with the complexities that would normally arise from delivering multiple projects simultaneously. As the Quantity Surveyor, you will be working closely with the Asset & Development managers to develop options for rental unit enhancements through the appropriate deployment of capital investment. No two days are ever the same and the diverse selection of properties as well as their long-term vision for the business means our clients are continuing to grow in light of the reason surroundings the world has recently offered. There is a clear plan of ‘career progression’ which has been put in place which you do not normally find in rival client-side opportunities.  They also boast an impressive retention rate of their staff and have recently made several more exciting hires which have propelled the business even further forward. They are building a very strong and competent property team.

THE PACKAGE

Our client is offering up to an £65k basic salary, two types of bonuses one of which averages around 10% of the basic salary, a healthy pension as well as several other benefits and a flexible work approach that they had in place before this current pandemic we all have had the pleasure of living through!

WHAT’S NEXT?

Our client is currently shortlisting suitable candidates. The first round of interviews will be in the next three weeks. If successful the second stage interviews will be the following month. Do not wait and miss out on this opportunity. For more information, please don’t hesitate to contact us further or alternatively apply with your cv on the link below.
