We work with sizable projects that range in scope and breadth, adding growth in employment and opportunity to communities. You will work on an exciting variety of construction projects, taking the lead, supported by analysts and technology, and working with leading experts in the industry to reaffirm or introduce ideas and possible solutions.

What you will do:

    • Develop a deep understanding of the client's unique requirements.

    • Review contract documentation.

    • Conduct needs analysis and determine solutions.

  • Manage relationships. You will:

    • Nurture communications with clients, sharing knowledge and insights, leading to contract renewal, referrals, and service expansion, including up-sells and cross-sells.

    • Collaborate with internal and external partners to prepare proposals and reports. 

Our new Cost Consultant will have:

  • Technology skills. You are highly proficient with Sharepoint and MS Office, including Project. Ideally, you have hands-on exposure to CostX. 

  • Relationship building. You can build and foster relationships with internal and client stakeholders across all levels of construction projects, gathering information, and eliciting cooperation both onsite and virtually.

  • Transparent communication style. You are an outstanding communicator who can clarify ambiguities and present information in a way that is structured and makes sense. You can relay delays and setbacks while managing expectations and retaining the client's confidence.

  • A results-oriented focus. You can anticipate, understand, and respond to the needs of clients, and you are driven to meet or exceed their expectations. You can innovate solutions to keep the project - and the business - moving forward.
