About Us
Access Construct Ltd. is a dynamic construction company committed to delivering high-quality projects with a strong focus on excellence, sustainability, commercial performance, and client satisfaction.
We are looking for an experienced Project Manager / Quantity Surveyor (PM/QS) to join our team in London. This is a combined project delivery and commercial role suited to an experienced construction professional who can take responsibility for both the operational and financial management of projects from inception through to completion and final account.
Role Overview
The successful candidate will be responsible for managing construction projects to ensure they are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards, while maintaining strong commercial and contractual control throughout the project lifecycle.
The role requires a hands-on individual who is equally comfortable managing site teams and subcontractors, dealing with clients and consultants, and overseeing budgets, procurement, valuations, variations, cost reporting, and final accounts.
Key Responsibilities
Project Management & Delivery
- Manage construction projects from inception through to successful completion and handover.
- Plan, coordinate, and oversee day-to-day project operations to ensure programme, budget, and quality objectives are achieved.
- Manage and coordinate site teams, consultants, suppliers, and specialist subcontractors.
- Monitor project progress against programme and take corrective action where required.
- Attend and lead project and progress meetings with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams.
- Provide regular project updates and reports to Directors and Senior Management.
- Identify and resolve site and project issues promptly and effectively.
- Ensure works are delivered in accordance with drawings, specifications, contractual requirements, and agreed quality standards.
- Ensure compliance with relevant health and safety requirements and promote a safe working environment across the project.
Commercial & Cost Management
- Take responsibility for the commercial and financial performance of assigned projects.
- Prepare and manage project budgets, detailed cost estimates, and cost plans.
- Monitor project expenditure against approved budgets and identify potential cost overruns at an early stage.
- Prepare cash-flow forecasts, cost-value reconciliations, and regular commercial reports.
- Identify commercial risks and opportunities and implement appropriate mitigation measures.
- Work closely with the project team to identify cost-saving and value-engineering opportunities while maintaining required quality and performance.
