The role

As Quantity Surveyor, you will manage the commercial side of your own schemes from pre-construction through to final account. Projects will include both new-build and refurbishment work in the healthcare, education and commercial sectors.

You will work closely with site and office teams, keeping costs, valuations, variations, subcontractor accounts and commercial reporting on track throughout each project.

The right person

You will need at least four years’ experience as a Quantity Surveyor with a general building contractor, working on either new-build or refurbishment projects.

You should be comfortable taking responsibility for your own projects and dealing with the day-to-day commercial duties. Good communication, IT and organisational skills are important, along with a practical approach to working with clients, subcontractors and project teams.
