• Working closely with operational teams to ensure financial control from start to finish
• Attending site meetings and liaising with clients, engineers, and project managers

What We’re Looking For:

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in quantity surveying – ideally with a focus on groundworks, infrastructure, or residential civil engineering
• Proven track record of running multiple projects independently, with limited supervision
• Strong working knowledge of current NEC/JCT contracts and commercial procedures
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and reporting skills
• Someone who is motivated, reliable, and takes initiative
• Fully office-based role with regular site visits – no hybrid or remote working
• Able to start quickly and integrate into the team immediately
