Senior Cost Manager / Quantity Surveyor

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description paragraphs. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. No filler like "commensurate with experience". We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove social media lines? Those are likely not needed. Also remove repeated lines about recruitment agency fees etc. We need to preserve all substantive information: company overview, job description, responsibilities list, qualifications, additional info (on site requirements might change, SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, etc.), maybe benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned. Skills? Could be implied from qualifications but we can have a Skills section if there is explicit skill list: "Excellent communication skills." Also "Good knowledge of construction industry technical matters, such as different procurement routes, value management, and value engineering." Also "Self-motivated, driven, able to work independently as well as part of a team." Also "Great communication skills." Also "Leadership". We could put those under Skills or Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Probably combine into Qualifications and Responsibilities. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

About the role

with paragraph(s) summarizing role description: The job description paragraph: "Turner & Townsend are looking for an experienced Senior Cost Manager and/or Quantity Surveyor to act as the key, day to day client interface, ensuring that client objectives are met through the delivery of a value-added cost management service. To be successful in this role you must have great communication skills and be comfortable operating in a client-facing role. The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, driven, and able to work independently as well as part of a team. In this significant position, you will be responsible for providing leadership and direction, embedding, and promoting the purpose, values, and vision of Turner & Townsend." Also maybe include company overview? Could be part of About the role or separate? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have About the role containing overview and role purpose. Then Responsibilities: list bullet points from the responsibilities section. Then Qualifications: list bullet points from qualifications. Then Skills: maybe list communication skills, knowledge of procurement routes, value management, value engineering, leadership, self-motivated etc. But we need to ensure we have real specific content. We can extract from text: "Excellent communication skills." "Good knowledge of construction industry technical matters, such as different procurement routes, value management, and value engineering." "Self-motivated, driven, able to work independently as well as part of a team." "Providing leadership and direction." "Ability to work proactively with minimal supervision." "Ability to coach and mentor talent." Those could be skills. But we might combine skills into Qualifications to avoid thin sections. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (which includes education, experience, certifications, skills). That would be three sections. That seems fine. We must not invent sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule if not present. So we omit those. We need to preserve ALL substantive information: include company overview? The first paragraph about Turner & Townsend is company overview. Should we include that? It's substantive. Where to put? Could be in About the role preceding role description. Or we could have a separate "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those listed, we could put company overview in About the role as part of role description. That's acceptable. We must remove boilerplate: equal opportunity employer, diversity, recruitment agency fees, social media lines, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (the repeated fee policy). Also remove "On site requirements might change based on client needs*" and "SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable." Those are substantive? They are additional info; we should keep them. They are not boilerplate. So we need to include them somewhere, maybe in a short paragraph under Additional Information but we don't have a heading for that. Could incorporate into Qualifications or About the role? Probably better to add a short paragraph after Qualifications: maybe under a heading "Additional Information"? Not allowed. But we could put it as a

after Qualifications without a heading. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

for section headings (e.g., those). It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but we should follow the pattern. Safer to just include that info as a

after Qualifications, maybe under a heading "Additional Information" but that's not in the list; maybe better to avoid extra heading and just put as a paragraph. We must not include application instructions, social media, EEO, etc. Let's extract responsibilities list: - Estimating and negotiating change orders throughout the construction lifecycle. - Provide estimate and cost planning to include producing and presenting the final cost plan. - Review and participate with the design services team and general contractor in the development of cost estimates. - Reconcile changes and assist the general contractor to ensure that their data is accurate. - Communicate or meet with the general contractor and owner of project manager to gather status information to prepare a cost estimate update. - Prepare written comments to the general contractor’s submissions, including the executive summary. - Coordinate all sources of cost information for cost discussions and suppliers direct from NPA, subs, quantities from A/Es. - Inform and drive engineering priorities based on cost impact. - Work proactively with minimal supervision to resolve scheduling issues. - Manage cost checks and carry out valuations on larger projects. - Complete timely, accurate cost checking and valuation processes. - Participate effectively with post-contract cost variances and the change of control processes. - Manage Cost impact / contingency management and commitment tracking logs. - Prepare funding data presentations and coordinate VE sessions with stakeholders. - Developing cost plans and estimates through the design phase, delivering updated cost plans at appropriate design milestones. - Providing commercial input to design optioneering and input into value engineering exercises. - Reviewing contractor and subcontractor pricing and leading negotiations on behalf of the client to drive fair contract prices. - Performing quantity surveying, cost controls, and change management activities throughout the project lifecycle. - Ensuring that post-contract cost variances and change control processes are managed effectively. - Ensuring that cost auditing and valuation work is managed effectively and that a robust process for cost validation is in place. - Carrying out the production of monthly cost reports for presentation to the client. - Ensuring that final accounts are negotiated and agreed upon in a timely manner. - Compiling built cost estimate records for benchmarking purposes. - Identify, coach and mentor talent to realize their potential and celebrate the success of others. - Display excellence in leadership and service delivery on commissions is in line with the conditions of appointment - Financial Management - Utilize internal software to track ongoing margin levels and monthly fee/resource forecasts for each commission and financial reports - Implement and maintain the use of internal Business Management Systems and company delivery methodologies and tools in the office to ensure consistent delivery of best practice for Clients and the company - Be a role model that drives a one business culture that achieves great outcomes by striking the right balance for our people, clients, stakeholders, and society. That's a lot. We'll keep them as

• . Qualifications list: - Bachelor’s degree in construction management, cost management, quantity surveying, engineering or field related to construction. - Minimum 5-7 years of relevant experience working in a cost management role in the construction industry. - RICS accredited or working towards it is preferred. - Experience of leading cost management on medium or large sized construction projects of medium to high complexity. - Construction consultancy experience is strongly preferred. - Good knowledge of construction industry technical matters, such as different procurement routes, value management, and value engineering. - Excellent communication skills. Also maybe include self-motivated etc. But those are more skills/attributes. Could be included under Qualifications as bullet points: Self-motivated, driven, able to work independently as well as part of a team. Ability to work proactively with minimal supervision. Leadership. Coaching and mentoring. But we might keep them as part of Qualifications. Additional info paragraph: "*On site requirements might change based on client needs* SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable." We'll combine into a paragraph. Now produce HTML:
