WPS are working with a long-standing social housing partner to deliver an exciting decarbonisation and retrofit programme aimed at improving the energy efficiency of homes and creating lasting benefits for residents. As part of this growing programme, we are looking for an experienced Project Surveyor to join the team and play a key role in the commercial success of the contract.
This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused surveyor who enjoys working closely with operational teams, clients, and supply chain partners, while contributing to projects that make a real difference within local communities. Experience of retrofit, decarbonisation, SHDF, or PAS 2035-led programmes would be highly advantageous. The role may also develop into managing and mentoring an Assistant Surveyor as the programme expands. This reflects responsibilities commonly associated with Project Surveyor roles within planned works and commercial delivery environments.
The Role
Reporting into the Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for the commercial management of a social housing planned works contract, ensuring projects are delivered safely, profitably, and in line with client expectations.
Key Responsibilities Include
- Managing all commercial aspects of planned maintenance and retrofit works.
- Supporting pre and post-contract activities including procurement, valuations, forecasting, and reporting.
- Working closely with operational teams to maximise project performance and profitability.
- Managing subcontractor procurement, payments, and final accounts.
- Producing accurate CVRs, forecasts, and commercial reports.
- Undertaking site visits to review progress, measurements, and commercial opportunities.
- Building strong relationships with clients, consultants, and supply chain partners.
- Identifying and managing commercial risks and opportunities.
- Supporting the delivery of decarbonisation measures including insulation, heating upgrades, renewable technologies, and wider energy efficiency works.
- Assisting with the development and mentoring of junior commercial staff, with the opportunity to manage an Assistant Surveyor in the future.
