* Build strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and key project stakeholders.
* Mentor and support the development of Assistant and Trainee Quantity Surveyors.
* Drive continuous improvement across commercial processes, systems and reporting.
* Promote high standards of safety, quality and operational excellence across all projects.
