Location: UK Wide – Main offices are Birmingham, Liverpool, Greater Manchester, Glasgow and Bristol

Type: Permanent & Hybrid

We are working with a leading consultancy who are looking to appoint an Associate Director specialising in Life Cycle Costing and Whole Life Cycle Costing for buildings within their Project Management & Commercial Management (PMCM) team.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Chartered Quantity Surveyor with a strong understanding of asset management, operational costs and lifecycle planning to help establish and grow a dedicated lifecycle costing capability.

The Role

You will work across whole life and lifecycle costings for buildings, advising clients on value, expenditure and long-term asset costs.

Key areas include:

• Developing lifecycle and whole life cost models
• Advising clients on value for money
• Capital, operational, running and maintenance costs
• PPM and maintenance strategies
• Lifecycle options and cost comparisons
• Producing BREEAM reports
• Developing standardised models and reporting
• Supporting asset management and lifecycle strategies

You will work across a range of building sectors including airports, defence, warehouses, offices and energy centres.

A key part of the role will be to build and develop a lifecycle costing team from the ground up. There is currently no established team, so we are looking for someone who is proactive, hands-on and keen to build something of their own. You will have strong support from the Lead QS and Technical Director, with no initial line management responsibility.

Essential:

• MRICS / Chartered QS
• Strong understanding of ISO 15686.5
• Whole life and lifecycle costing experience
• Experience developing lifecycle models
• Understanding of capital, operational and running costs

• PPM / maintenance cost experience
• Varied building sector experience
• PFI handback experience
• Knowledge of CostX, CEMAR and NEC
• Public sector and/or heavy industry experience

The Opportunity

Join a leading consultancy with a strong pipeline of work and the opportunity to shape and grow a new lifecycle costing capability, build a team and work on major projects across the UK.

If you don't meet every requirement but have relevant experience, we would still encourage you to apply.
