Junior Quantity Surveyor in Leeds, West Yorkshire

I'm recruiting for a Junior Quantity Surveyor to join the commercial team of a growing fit-out and refurbishment contractor based in Yeadon, Leeds.

This is a great opportunity for someone in the earlier stages of their commercial career who wants to gain hands-on experience across a high volume of live construction projects, working alongside experienced Senior Quantity Surveyors.

The business operates across sectors including hospitality, retail, quick-service restaurants, offices, commercial and heritage, and is currently going through a significant period of growth.


What You'll Be Doing
You'll support the commercial team across a portfolio of fit-out and refurbishment projects throughout the North of England.
Projects can range from very fast turnaround works lasting just a few days to larger schemes running for several weeks, giving you exposure to projects at different stages at the same time.

Your responsibilities will develop to include:

• Assisting with project cost control and reporting
• Supporting subcontractor procurement
• Preparing and reviewing valuations
• Managing variations and project changes
• Assisting with subcontractor accounts
• Supporting the preparation of final accounts
• Liaising with operational, site and commercial teams
• Maintaining accurate project information using the company's commercial systems

What We're Looking For

You could already be working as a Junior QS, Assistant QS or Trainee QS and looking for your next step.

Previous construction experience is preferred, particularly within:

• Fit-out and refurbishment
• Social housing
• Planned or responsive maintenance
• Specialist subcontracting
• Fast-track construction projects

Experience with COINS ERP would be beneficial but is not essential.

More importantly, you'll need to be organised, commercially minded and comfortable working across several projects simultaneously.

What's on Offer?

• Negotiable salary depending on experience
• Private Medical Insurance after the first year
• Death in Service benefit
• Company pension scheme
• Holiday Loyalty Scheme
• Long Service Awards
• Wellbeing Programme
• Training and development
• Free parking
• Excellent opportunity to develop alongside experienced commercial professionals

This could be particularly attractive to an ambitious Junior or Assistant QS who wants greater project exposure and a clear opportunity to progress commercially within a growing contractor.
