What the role covers

Linesight is recruiting in Chicago for a cost manager at senior level; the advert itself describes the post as Senior Cost Manager, and data centre or mission critical experience is preferred.

On the pre-contract side, the cost manager takes part in tendering from the first documents through to analysis and reporting, tests returned tenders for value for money and prepares estimates and cost plans for client developments. Budget control, cost planning and the raising of change forms for discussion with the wider project team form part of the experience sought.

After award the role runs the change management process, identifying, analysing, approving and implementing changes that affect cost, and keeps control of spend through valuations and cost reports, with variations explained to the team. The post holder helps to prepare and agree final accounts, including the handling of claims, and supports the settlement of construction disputes and loss and expense claims.

Mentoring and leading junior staff is part of the job. Applicants should have worked as a senior cost manager, ideally in consultancy, and hold a degree or comparable experience in project management or construction. Chartered status, or progress towards it, is expected, and the firm offers support to complete it.

The posting states a salary range of $108,000 to $145,000, with the figure offered depending on skills, education and experience.
