Cost Manager / Quantity Surveyor – Data Center Construction
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract content.
The posting includes:
- Intro about company (maybe About the role? Actually "Job Description" then description). We can treat "About the role" as a paragraph summarizing role description.
- Responsibilities: list after "Responsibilities:" with many items separated by commas and "and". Need to split into list items.
- Qualifications: after "Qualifications" heading.
- Additional Information: includes bullet points with asterisks. Those could be considered "Additional Information" maybe not a standard heading; but we can treat as maybe "Skills" or "Benefits"? The bullet includes: *On-site presence and requirements may change..., Our inspired people..., We provide a great place to work..., We want our people..., To support this we promote..., Turner & Townsend is an equal opportunity employer..., etc. Also social media and scam warnings. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, navigation, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove social media links? Probably considered boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO statements, equal opportunity, scam warning, social media invites, etc. Also remove "Please find out more about us at ..." maybe not boilerplate but could be considered navigation? Might be okay to keep? It's not EEO etc. But it's a link to website; might be considered navigation? Safer to remove? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Navigation includes links to site? Possibly. I'd remove the "Please find out more about us at www.turnerandtownsend.com/ and www.heery.com/" as navigation. Also remove social media lines. Also remove "It is strictly against Turner & Townsend policy..." etc (scam-warning). Also remove "All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines." (EEO). Also remove "Join our social media conversations..." etc.
Thus Additional Information after cleaning may have: "*On-site presence and requirements may change depending on our client's needs. Our inspired people share our vision and mission. We provide a great place to work, where each person has the opportunity and voice to affect change. We want our people to succeed both in work and life. To support this we promote a healthy, productive and flexible working environment that respects work-life balance."
We could treat that as a paragraph under maybe "About the role" or "Benefits"? It's more about work environment; could be "Benefits". But we need to only include sections if posting has real specific content. The posting does not explicitly state Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create those sections. So we will have sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description paragraph), Responsibilities, Qualifications. Possibly Skills? The posting mentions "Good knowledge of construction industry technical matters, such as different procurement routes, value management, and value engineering. Strong communication skills." That's under Qualifications? Actually after Qualifications bullet list, there is "Good knowledge..." etc. That could be considered Skills. We could create a Skills section with those items. But we need to see if they are separate. The text after Qualifications bullet list: "Good knowledge of construction industry technical matters, such as different procurement routes, value management, and value engineering. Strong communication skills." That seems like skills. So we can create a Skills section with those two items as list.
Also there is "Additional Information" which after cleaning could be considered maybe "About the role" or "Benefits"? But we already have About the role. Could incorporate into About the role as extra paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Cost Manager/Quantity Surveyor". Already not.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all responsibilities, qualifications, skills, etc.
Let's parse.
Responsibilities block after "Responsibilities:":
"Advising client on strategies, managing prequalification of vendors, assessing proposals, bids, and bid levelling documents, making final recommendations to the client, attending & chairing bid interviews, and managing appointment process. Manage estimating services for full project by developing project estimates (relating to construction, fees, direct work and other costs), reviewing estimations prepared by junior team members, presenting estimates to client, presenting value engineering recommendations and risk assessments to client, meeting with vendors to review, validate, and challenge costs, and reviewing estimates by utilizing benchmark data collected from other projects. Manage cost reporting by establishing reporting schedule, reviewing & presenting cost reports and forecasts, reviewing project budget & spend forecast with the client, developing & maintaining commercial risk register, and hosting periodic meetings with project team & vendors. Manage cost control process by reviewing payment application assessments prepared by junior team members, liaising with project managers to recommend contractor entitlements, reviewing requests for change orders from vendors & making recommendations to client, and using dispute prevention/management/resolution procedures to manage payment requisitions, change orders, and contractual disputes. Manage & monitor invoicing process. Benchmark performance against other successful commissions. Manage all facets of the final accounting process and post contract audits and account close outs. Hold post-contract reviews with the client to establish a lesson learned document and apply lessons to create training manual. Develop procedures governing handover of project. Perform all the duties above through the use/preparation of Bid Analysis Sheets, Change Control Forms, Cost Estimating Software, and Take-off Software. Support cost management activities across multiple phases of construction, from planning and procurement through commissioning and closeout. SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable."
We need to split into list items. Each sentence separated by period. Could break at each period. We'll create - for each distinct duty.
Let's list:
1. Advising client on strategies
2. Managing prequalification of vendors
3. Assessing proposals, bids, and bid levelling documents
4. Making final recommendations to the client
5. Attending & chairing bid interviews
6. Managing appointment process
7. Managing estimating services for full project by developing project estimates (relating to construction, fees, direct work and other costs)
8. Reviewing estimations prepared by junior team members
9. Presenting estimates to client
10. Presenting value engineering recommendations and risk assessments to client
11. Meeting with vendors to review, validate, and challenge costs
12. Reviewing estimates by utilizing benchmark data collected from other projects
13. Managing cost reporting by establishing reporting schedule
14. Reviewing & presenting cost reports and forecasts
15. Reviewing project budget & spend forecast with the client
16. Developing & maintaining commercial risk register
17. Hosting periodic meetings with project team & vendors
18. Managing cost control process by reviewing payment application assessments prepared by junior team members
19. Liaising with project managers to recommend contractor entitlements
20. Reviewing requests for change orders from vendors & making recommendations to client
21. Using dispute prevention/management/resolution procedures to manage payment requisitions, change orders, and contractual disputes
22. Managing & monitoring invoicing process
23. Benchmarking performance against other successful commissions
24. Managing all facets of the final accounting process and post contract audits and account close outs
25. Holding post-contract reviews with the client to establish a lesson learned document and apply lessons to create training manual
26. Developing procedures governing handover of project
27. Performing all the duties above through the use/preparation of Bid Analysis Sheets, Change Control Forms, Cost Estimating Software, and Take-off Software
28. Supporting cost management activities across multiple phases of construction, from planning and procurement through commissioning and closeout
29. SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.
We could combine some but fine.
Qualifications block after "Qualifications":
"Bachelor’s degree in construction management, cost management, quantity surveying, engineering or field related to construction. Minimum 3-5 years of relevant experience working in a cost management role in the construction industry. RICS accredited or working towards it is valuable. Experience supporting cost management on medium or large sized construction projects. Experience supporting large-scale campus developments, mission critical, commercial, industrial, or other major capital construction projects is beneficial. Construction consultancy experience is strongly preferred."
We can split into list items:
- Bachelor’s degree in construction management, cost management, quantity surveying, engineering or field related to construction.
- Minimum 3-5 years of relevant experience working in a cost management role in the construction industry.
- RICS accredited or working towards it is valuable.
- Experience supporting cost management on medium or large sized construction projects.
- Experience supporting large-scale campus developments, mission critical, commercial, industrial, or other major capital construction projects is beneficial.
- Construction consultancy experience is strongly preferred.
Skills block: "Good knowledge of construction industry technical matters, such as different procurement routes, value management, and value engineering. Strong communication skills."
List:
- Good knowledge of construction industry technical matters, such as different procurement routes, value management, and value engineering.
- Strong communication skills.
About the role: The initial paragraph before Responsibilities: "Turner & Townsend are looking for a Cost Manager/Quantity Surveyor to join our team and support construction cost services for a large-scale data center construction program. This role will support the delivery of a significant multi-year campus development, working with project stakeholders across a diverse portfolio of construction projects from early planning through closeout. The ideal candidate will be driven and promote our Turner & Townsend purpose and values. This is a primarily site-based role supporting a major construction program. Regular on-site presence is required at the project site in Miami County, Ohio, located approximately 80 minutes from Cincinnati."
We can make that as a paragraph under About the role heading.
Additional Information cleaned: "*On-site presence and requirements may change depending on our client's needs. Our inspired people share our vision and mission. We provide a great place to work, where each person has the opportunity and voice to affect change. We want our people to succeed both in work and life. To support this we promote a healthy, productive and flexible working environment that respects work-life balance."
We could incorporate into About the role as another paragraph, or maybe as a separate section like "Work Environment". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put under About the role or maybe under Benefits? But we shouldn't create Benefits unless explicitly stated. This is about work environment, could be considered Benefits? Not explicit benefits like health insurance etc. Safer to add to About the role as extra paragraph.
Thus final HTML:
