Description:
The Estates and Facilities Commercial Surveyor will join the team at an exciting time, using their specialist knowledge and skills to play a key role in the delivery of the University’s Estate Strategy. The University estate is comprised of over 130 buildings with 190,000sqm of space, featuring a multitude of learning, research, social and commercial environments. In the Commercial Surveyor Role, you will work directly with the Senior Commercial Manager and wider project delivery team members in delivering the University’s Capital Plan, specifically those within the Finance and Procurement support functions. You will assist with the delivery of maintenance, small works and larger capital projects, working primarily at project level but also supporting programme level forecasting and reporting. Projects typically range from £50k to £50m and consider a wide variety of works to existing buildings, new buildings as well as wider campus projects.

In addition, the production of cost estimates for future works and supporting senior colleagues with cashflow forecasting and strategic programming.
