Based on a high-security, mission-critical estate, this role offers a unique opportunity to manage a diverse portfolio of 5 to 20 concurrent projects, ranging from essential infrastructure upgrades to complex facility enhancements. The Challenge As the commercial lead for Capital Works, you won't just be "number crunching." You will be the bridge between initial client concepts and operational reality.

Leadership: Manage and mentor a team of Trainee / Assistant Surveyors, fostering their development while maintaining the accuracy of the overall program forecast. About You You are a disciplined SQS who thrives on process and accountability. You understand that in a high-security environment, "near enough" isn't good enough. Experience: Proven track record in a similar SQS role, ideally within a Capital Works, FM, or major projects environment. Financial Rigor: Expert-level knowledge of CVRs, forecasting, and commercial reporting. You should be comfortable explaining "the why" behind the numbers to senior stakeholders. Strategic Thinking: Ability to manage the "big picture" ( 10m annual turnover) while maintaining a granular focus on individual project performance. Leadership: A natural mentor with the ability to manage and upskill junior staff. Security: Due to the nature of the site, candidates must be eligible for high-level UK Security Clearance (SC) . Why This Role? This isn't a standard office-block refurbishment role. You will be working on a site of national importance where the infrastructure directly supports critical operations. Complexity: A fast-paced environment with a high volume of diverse projects. Authority: You will be the commercial voice for the Capital Works division, trusted to manage the governance and financial health of the portfolio. Stability: A long-term, high-value contract with a consistent pipeline of work. Randstad CPE values diversity and promotes equality.
