Rochford, England, United Kingdom
I lead teams of junior surveyors, improving estimating accuracy and tender quality, resulting in a stronger bid and increasing our tender success rate. I have delivered successful tender submissions through clear estimating strategy and well-structured tender writing, contributing directly to new project awards. I provide a pre contract cost certainty by producing robust estimates which include risk aware pricing, this occurs from active engagement with supply chains, identification and clarifying scope gaps, aligning tenders with construction methodology and programming and understanding current trends and fashions which are occurring across the industry. This reduces post-award variations and commercial exposure. I am experienced working at an early engagement and can achieve improved margins through early value engineering. Intelligent company wide procurement strategies, and implementing competitive incentives to supply chains, during the pre-construction phase. During the construction phase I maintain excellent professional relations with all members involved within the construction project. This allows for effective and streamlined delivery. I provide strong commercial performance through effectively forecasting, monitoring variations, procuring in a 'just in time' format to ensure work is never delayed and working closely with construction teams so that labour and materials are on site as required. I provide robust valuations and ensure clients are aware of their exposure in a professional timely manner to reduce risk and finalise accounts in a streamlined manner. I provide clear commercial reporting and forecasting to senior management, enabling informed decision making and early intervention where required. I have developed commercial skills of junior teams, by providing a hands on structured improvement plan which focuses on estimating, procurement, negotiating and discrepancy identification skills. This improves the consistency, confidence and overall output of the commercial team. I have built strong professional relationships with operations, design and procurement team improving collaboration from tender through to delivery.
