Quantity Surveyor
Location: Solent or Thames Valley
Salary: Highly competitive + Car Allowance + Benefits
The role will be heavily focused on site:
* Approximately 2-3 days per week in the Basingstoke/Reading area
* Occasional visits to the Isle of Wight (1-2 days per month).
At Hopkins, our purpose is to always deliver high levels of customer service and industry knowledge. Our vision is to self-deliver our sustainable projects from design through the installation period and then to maintain the buildings, ensuring they operate to the original design principles. To achieve both, we have built a team of dedicated, innovative and creative people who never settle for "just average".
In a nutshell
We are a mechanical and electrical services contractor actively seeking to recruit an experienced Quantity Surveyor. We are ideally looking for a candidate that specializes in a contracting background and is accustomed to dealing with pre-contract negotiation as well as commercially leading the delivery of fast track multi-million pound projects.
The ideal candidate will support in providing full commercial awareness to ensure the project management and operational delivery team are aware of all commercial and contractual matters involved in the project, while also providing support to the Commercial Manager / Commercial Director as appropriate.
Day to day
This role provides the opportunity to be part of something that will last for generations. You will be part of a team that helps design and consult on multiple projects across our business, from residential care villages to hotels and groundbreaking innovative client projects.
This will often include the following activities:

* Management of all commercial activities throughout the design stage, assistance with compiling the tender bid for the submission of the AMP (Absolute Maximum Price) construction of the project, and engaging with Sub-Contractors / Suppliers during this phase.
* Working alongside our design, pre-construction, and estimating team during the above phase, ensuring commercial coverage.
* Review and negotiation of the Contract with our Client, with support from the senior management team.
* Negotiation and Contract placement of the Sub-Contract Agreements with our specialist Sub-Contractors.
* Preparation and submission of monthly interim valuations to our Client in line with our Contract.

* Agreement of final accounts upstream and downstream.
* Monthly production and presentation of financial reports for the project in line with the company timetable.
* Review and understanding of the programme, and ensure correct contractual notices are issued as required by the Contract.
