Turner & Townsend is one of the leading consultancy providers to the Infrastructure sector and has a thriving Estimating and Cost Intelligence team making the difference for a large number of clients both in the UK and Overseas. As a pillar of our ambitious growth strategy, the Cost Intelligence and Benchmarking capability exists to capture, manage and utilise our data for both our internal customers and to provide competitive advantage both internally and for our clients.
Reporting to the Director of Cost Intelligence & Benchmarking, we are looking for a talented, and self-starting individual to join the Cost Intelligence & Benchmarking team in order to support in the successful development and delivery of the Infrastructure Cost Intelligence & Benchmarking Strategy in line with the Turner & Townsend Corporate Vision to 2030 and beyond.
The successful candidate will have a working understanding of both Project Commercial Management and Project Controls. They should also demonstrate a sound understanding of data; how it may be used and its importance as a decision making tool internally and for our clients. Ideally the candidate will have a part mathematical, part data / computer scientist, part engineering mindset as well as a proven experience working on major infrastructure projects. Experience in the Aviation and Rail sectors would be an advantage.
This role requires significant autonomous problem-solving ability and an understanding of how contemporary integrated information systems work is key. It is important that the successful candidate is able to articulate, in easily understandable language, the narrative behind the data to internal customers and clients.
Working primarily within the Infrastructure Estimating and Cost Intelligence function and with the UK Commercial community, the successful candidate will help oversee all aspects of Cost Intelligence & Benchmarking development. Typically, this will likely include (but not be limited to) the following:
This is a South East-based role, although there may be flexibility for the right candidate. We operate a flexible-working arrangement, which typically requires 3 days working in a client/Turner & Townsend office.
