Your contribution to our company
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 route?
- 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:
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 (company cost control system), ensuring the data reflects reality.
Who are we looking for?
- This is a development role for high-potential internal staff. We are looking for:
- Current Role: A Quantity Surveyor or Site Engineer currently working within Strabag.
- Experience: Proven experience on site with a strong understanding of how projects are built and managed.
- Mindset: You are "Process-Driven" but "Practical". You understand the importance of the CPS but know how to apply it to real site challenges.
- Ambition: You want to move beyond day-to-day transactional work and into strategic analysis and reporting.
What we offer?
- Mentorship: Direct support from the Head of Technical Controlling and Senior Controllers.
- Autonomy: The chance to "own" the controlling function for your project(s).
- Career Security: Technical Controlling is a growth area for the Build Sub-Division. As we scale to new Business Units and win further projects, your specialised skillset will be in high demand.
What matters to us
- HND/Degree qualification in Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying or a related subject.
- Competent in the use of MS-Office products.
- An understanding of cost estimating software, ideally iTWO (training will be available).
- Experience in a suitable role in construction or engineering.
- Interested in commercial processes.
- Independent, analytical and result-orientated way of thinking and acting.
- Committed to professional delivery with accuracy and detail.
- Willingness to work on a construction site.
- High level of commitment and initiative.
