This is an opportunity to join a business where the Quantity Surveyor is genuinely involved in the commercial delivery of projects, working closely with experienced Project Managers and the wider team.
You'll be joining a collaborative commercial function with an exciting pipeline of secured work across the UK and Europe.

• 
  Supporting the commercial management of turnkey construction projects

  Preparing valuations and managing variations
