Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor or Site Engineer looking for a career pivot that offers higher visibility and strategic impact? We are looking for candidates to join the growing Technical Controlling function within our Build sector division.
About us:
At STRABAG, around 86,000 people worldwide work together on progress. Our projects are characterised by uniqueness and individual strengths, just as each of our employees is. Whether in building construction, civil engineering, infrastructure, or specialist services, we deliver innovative and sustainable solutions that create lasting value for our clients and communities.
About The Role:
The Technical Controlling role is a specific and crucial role established within the Strabag Group globally. Technical Controlling is a result‑driven, internally focused project management system. It combines typically UK Quantity Surveying and Cost Engineering responsibilities to ensure compliance, transparency, and alignment with Group‑wide processes.
Why Consider This Role:
- Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor or Site Engineer looking for a career pivot that offers higher visibility and strategic impact?
- We are looking for candidates to join the growing Technical Controlling function. This is a unique "Dual Role" opportunity: you will retain and use your core professional skills (QS or Engineering) whilst specialising in the critical financial and operational standards that drive Strabag’s success.
- This role is the primary bridge between Site Operations and the Business Unit. You will not just report on the numbers; you will influence them.
The Dual Role Advantage:
- Unlike a standard commercial role, this position allows you to:
- Stay close to the action: You remain integrated with the on-site delivery team, applying your practical construction knowledge daily.
- Gain High-Level Exposure: You will report directly into the controlling function, giving you visibility with Project Management and Sub-Division Directors that is not common on a project basis.
- Master the "Strabag Way": You will become the project expert on Common Project Standards (CPS) and our internal processes, making you a highly valuable asset to the Group.
Key Responsibilities:
- Operational Control: Use your technical/commercial background to monitor Costs, Revenue / Results, Productivity, and Budgets in real-time, preventing issues before they impact the bottom line.
- The "Bridge": Act as the interface between the Project Manager and the Business Unit, translating site activities into accurate financial data.
- Forecasting: Proactively identify deviations from the schedule and cost forecasts using your engineering/QS judgment.
- System Integrity: Ensure the accuracy of the Working Budget and Estimates within iTWO, ensuring the data reflects reality.
- Process Champion: Drive the "Feedback Loop", capturing lessons learned from the site and feeding them back to Pre-Construction to improve future tenders.
Pre-employment screening is required for this position.
