Soben is an award‑winning construction consultancy with bold ambitions and a clear trajectory for growth. Since launching in 2011, we’ve built a reputation for technical excellence, client focus, and delivery certainty.

- Access to world‑class resources and technology, enhancing how we deliver capital projects
- Involvement in high‑profile programmes across sectors such as data centres, energy, and pharmaceuticals
- Career development at scale, with exposure to international clients and cutting‑edge project environments
- A platform for innovation, as we continue to challenge traditional consultancy models and lead digital transformation
In this role you will
- Act as the client‑facing Project Manager for your commission, maintaining regular contact and leading formal pre‑start and mid‑term review meetings.
- Understand client requirements and desired outputs and communicate these effectively to internal teams.
- Lead internal pre‑start briefings, set achievable targets, and prepare supporting documentation.
- Hold daily progress meetings with billing teams, resolving technical issues and ensuring alignment with client expectations.
- Manage technical queries (TQs), liaise with clients for responses, and apply reasonable assumptions when needed to maintain programme momentum.
- Conduct detailed QA reviews and gap analyses of BQs and pricing documents to ensure compliance with scope and Soben standards.
- Ensure full execution of Soben systems and QA procedures by billing teams.
- Maintain a detailed working knowledge of prepared documents and lead the handover process, acting as the point of contact for post‑submission queries.
- Build strong working relationships with client estimators to support repeat business.
- Achieve high level security clearance to allow participation in classified or restricted projects, enter restricted areas to carry out measurement, verification, and commercial review without delay.
- Be willing to travel occasionally within the UK and Europe to support client engagement.
- Champion continuous improvement in service delivery and support UK Directors in business matters as required.
- Provide effective coaching and mentoring to junior team members.
- Uphold and promote Soben’s core values in all aspects of work.
About you
- Educated to degree level (or equivalent) standard in Quantity Surveying, a minimum of ten years’ post‑qualification experience, ideally including exposure to complex projects.
- Management or team leadership experience is highly desirable, particularly where you’ve overseen technical delivery, coordinated multi‑disciplinary teams, or acted as a client interface.
- Your communication and negotiation skills will be first‑rate—capable of building trust with clients, resolving technical queries, and guiding internal teams with clarity and confidence.
- You’ll combine a pragmatic, common‑sense approach with the flexibility to adapt to changing project demands, tight deadlines, and evolving client expectations.
- A proactive mindset, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous improvement will be key to your success in this role.
Benefits and opportunities
- Ongoing training and personal development to help you flourish, building a long‑term and successful career with us.
- Opportunities to progress quickly and be trusted with responsibilities that would normally belong to larger organisations.
