• Strong understanding of construction methodology and costing principles
• Confidence in pricing work and engaging directly with builders or clients
• Practical knowledge of both site-based and office-based project environments
• A proactive approach to design collaboration and commercial input
• Experience in pre-construction strategy, forecasting, and AH&D is a plus
