The Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment invites applications for the position of Part Time Lecturer (21 hours per week) in Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management.
You will be a Quantity Surveyor with knowledge of private quantity surveying practices and a progressive perspective on the future development of the profession. Having a PhD in a related subject area or substantial practice experience, you will augment the School’s academic team through the provision of teaching and learning in the area of Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management. You will contribute to Undergraduate and Postgraduate teaching across the School’s programme of Architecture and Built Environment courses, contribute to research within the School, and work as part of the academic team responsible for delivery of the School’s Surveying course provision.
You will hold membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), or equivalent. In addition to this, you will be responsible for the effective operation and development of nominated components within designated courses, and teaching is expected to be informed by industry connections, research and scholarship.
A strong understanding of the contemporary construction industry and of Quantity Surveying practice is essential, all within the context of progressive digitisation of the discipline and industry. Specialist demonstrable knowledge in one or more of the following areas is required, as is an ability to relate theory and practice: measurement and mensuration, familiarity with NRM suite and CESMM4; procurement and contract practices
The research activity of the School, to which new appointments are expected to contribute, is considered central to its success as a progressive, informed, and collaborative academic community. Research or scholarly activity aligned with contemporary built environment challenges such as sustainability, digital construction, or construction economics. These areas are strongly aligned to RGU’s strategic priorities and to the ambitions of the city and region as expressed through the public and private sectors. The School performs a central role in many important external networks and it is expected that new appointments will further extend these in supporting the growth of collaborative and income generation possibilities.
To reflect the evolving nature of the built environment sector, the role requires a forward-looking approach to quantity surveying that embraces digital transformation, sustainability, and interdisciplinary collaboration. You will demonstrate awareness of emerging industry practices such as BIM-enabled cost management, data-driven decision-making, and the integration of cost and carbon in achieving net zero outcomes. You will be expected to contribute to a curriculum that prepares graduates for a rapidly changing profession, where value is defined across the whole asset lifecycle rather than solely through capital cost. Engagement with industry, adaptability to new technologies, and the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries will be essential in supporting innovation in both teaching and research within the School.
In keeping with RGU’s commitment to work/life balance you will have the opportunity to work from home for a portion of the working week, but you must be in a position to deliver teaching on campus to meet the requirements of the course. You also will benefit from a generous pension scheme, 46 days annual leave (pro rata), onsite nursery, sports centre as well as a range of voluntary health and travel benefits.
