About the Position
Contractors often struggle with margins on their projects.
Challenges such as unmanaged changes, disputed claims, and missing documentation lead to significant profit loss. When field teams fail to adhere to processes, crucial events go undocumented, causing commercial teams to scramble for nonexistent evidence. Disputes can linger, and recoverable profits may disappear, often amounting to millions on high-value projects.
What’s Causing This?
- Field teams are hindered by cumbersome tools that are overly complex and slow, resulting in critical events not being recorded and gaps in the audit trail.
- Commercial teams face disputes armed with weak evidence, pursue missing records, and consequently lose recoverable margins while dealing with unnecessary claims.
Shape provides the solution.
Our platform is uniquely designed to be intuitive for field teams, yet powerful enough to deliver genuine commercial results. Site teams can document every issue, event, and change in real-time, allowing Shape to automatically generate the robust evidence that commercial teams need to defend and recover claims.
The outcome: diminished lost disputes, expedited resolutions, and full accountability from subcontractors. Commercial teams can manage change proactively rather than in a reactive manner.
This is the problem we address, but to genuinely assist our clients, we require professionals who understand these challenges firsthand. Many of our clients are Quantity Surveyors – who better to guide them than fellow Quantity Surveyors?
We are seeking a seasoned Managing Quantity Surveyor who is not only ready for a change in role but also an industry shift. This is your chance to transition from traditional construction into the dynamic realm of construction SaaS.
As our Manager of Commercial Strategy, you will leverage your extensive expertise to assist other commercial teams in navigating their most significant challenges: managing change and claims. Rather than merely focusing on margins for a single project, you will spearhead discussions that reshape how entire organizations safeguard their profits. This role blends consultative sales with customer success at the highest level, where your knowledge becomes the product, and your impact extends far beyond any singular contract.
