Assistant Quantity Surveyor

Involve Recruitment

We're looking for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join our commercial team on a major £80 million student accommodation scheme in Bristol. This is a fantastic opportunity for a graduate or early-career surveyor to gain hands-on experience on a large-scale, high-profile residential development, working alongside experienced QS professionals and a strong project team.

You'll be involved from an early stage in the build programme, giving you exposure to the full lifecycle of a major project — from procurement and subcontractor management through to final account.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist with the preparation of interim valuations and cost reports
  • Support the measurement and pricing of works from drawings and specifications
  • Help prepare tender and subcontract documentation
  • Assist in the procurement of subcontractors and suppliers
  • Support the management of subcontractor accounts, including valuations, variations, and final accounts
  • Assist with cost value reconciliations (CVRs) and reporting
  • Help maintain accurate cost records and project documentation
  • Attend site visits and progress meetings to monitor works on the ground
  • Support senior surveyors with contract administration and correspondence
  • Assist with the preparation of monthly cost/value reports

What We're Looking For

  • A degree in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or a related built environment discipline (or due to graduate)
  • A genuine interest in pursuing a career in quantity surveying within a contracting environment
  • Strong numeracy and analytical skills, with good attention to detail
  • Good communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; familiarity with measurement/cost software (e.g. CostX, Bluebeam) is a bonus but not essential
  • A proactive, willing-to-learn attitude and ability to work well within a team
  • A full UK driving licence is desirable, as some site travel may be required
  • Working towards (or interested in working towards) chartered status with the RICS or CIOB

What We Offer

  • Structured training and mentoring from experienced QS professionals
  • Support towards professional accreditation (RICS/CIOB) including study leave and course fees
  • Exposure to a major live construction project from day one
  • Competitive graduate salary plus benefits package
  • Genuine career progression opportunities within a growing commercial team
