Thomas Search are working on behalf of an established independent Built Asset, Engineering & Sustainability consultancy to appoint a Director of Cost Consultancy as part of its continued growth across the UK.
This is a senior, commercially focused opportunity for a MRICS Cost Consultant who wants more than delivery alone, with the opportunity to help shape and grow a national service line alongside an established senior leadership team.
You'll work with a sophisticated institutional and investment client base across industrial, logistics, retail, office, residential, PBSA and BTR, advising on high–profile projects and portfolios while helping to develop new relationships and opportunities.

You will:
  • Help lead and grow the Cost Consultancy service line nationally
  • Develop existing institutional and investment client relationships while opening new opportunities
  • Deliver hands–on, high–quality cost consultancy advice across major projects and portfolios
  • Support the development and execution of the service line's growth strategy
  • Drive consistency, best practice, quality control and innovation across the team
  • Coordinate business development, marketing, resourcing and knowledge sharing
  • Work collaboratively with wider Built Asset, Development and Engineering & Sustainability teams
  • Mentor and develop cost consultancy professionals across the business
  • Contribute directly to fee generation, profitability and overall service–line performance
You'll bring:
  • MRICS qualification and a strong Cost Consultancy background
  • Significant experience delivering end–to–end cost consultancy services
  • Strong commercial property experience, ideally across multiple sectors
  • An established network of institutional, investment or commercial property clients
  • Demonstrable business development and fee–generation capability
  • The credibility and confidence to operate at senior client and board level
  • A hands–on approach, comfortable combining technical delivery with leadership and growth
  • Strong communication, influencing and relationship–building skills
Why this role stands out:
  • Genuine opportunity to help shape and grow a national Cost Consultancy service
  • Established relationships with major institutional and investment clients
  • High–profile projects across some of the UK's most active property sectors
  • Significant autonomy and visibility within an independent consultancy
  • A role combining technical delivery, leadership, client development and commercial growth
  • Leeds or Manchester base with flexible hybrid working
  • Competitive salary, car allowance and performance–related bonus
  • Private healthcare, life assurance, pension and a strong wider benefits package
Confidential conversations are now open.

If you're a senior Cost Consultant ready to take greater ownership of clients, people and service–line growth, I'd be interested in speaking with you.
