Senior Cost Manager / Quantity Surveyor - Data Center Construction (TI/Fit Out)

Turner & Townsend is seeking an experienced Senior Cost Manager / Quantity Surveyor (TI/Fit Out) to support a large-scale, mission-critical data center program in the Houston, Texas area. This role will serve as the key day-to-day client interface, delivering a value-added cost management service across interior fit-out and construction activities.

This position is critical to ensuring the project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards, with a strong emphasis on commercial rigor, governance, and stakeholder coordination. Regular onsite presence is required.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain detailed cost plans and estimates through design and delivery phases, leveraging industry benchmarks and technical documentation.
  • Produce and present monthly cost reports, executive summaries, and funding data to stakeholders.

  • Ensure robust cost control systems, including Earned Value Management (EVM) where applicable.
  • Integrate cost with schedule and scope, coordinating closely with project controls/scheduling teams.
  • Inform and drive engineering priorities based on cost impact; lead value engineering (VE) initiatives and cost optimization strategies.
  • Monitor market trends (escalation, labor availability, material pricing) and provide timely insights.
  • Act as the primary client interface, ensuring objectives are met and service excellence is delivered.
  • Prepare and present executive-level updates, written comments on GC submissions, and cost estimate updates.
  • Ensure adherence to internal Business Management Systems and company delivery methodologies.
  • Mentor and coach junior team members; foster a high-performance, one-business culture.
  • Demonstrate excellence in financial management (margin tracking, monthly fee/resource forecasts) across commissions.
  • SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.

Qualifications

  • Regular onsite presence is required in the Houston, Texas area.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 57+ years in cost management/project controls within mission-critical environments (data centers, high-tech, industrial) and medium to large projects of moderate to high complexity.
  • Construction consultancy experience strongly preferred.
  • Solid understanding of MEP systems, resilience requirements, and campus-scale infrastructure common to data centers.
  • Strong foundation in budgeting, financial reporting, cost control systems, and EVM.
  • Expertise in procurement strategies and the commercial management of contractor/vendor contracts.
  • RICS accreditation or progress toward certification is advantageous.
