Join an established main contractor delivering a mix of residential and commercial projects across the South East and East of England.
This is a hands-on Project Quantity Surveyor role offering genuine ownership of live schemes, close collaboration with delivery teams, and exposure across both housing and commercial builds
You’ll be office-based day to day, with regular visits to live projects to stay close to delivery.
The Role
- Take commercial responsibility for live residential and commercial projects (£5m–£15m+)
• Manage subcontractor procurement, accounts, valuations, and variations
• Produce cost reports, forecasts, and CVRs for senior management review
• Work closely with Project Managers and site teams to control cost and risk
• Support projects from pre-construction through to final account
• Office-based role with regular visits to live sites (typically weekly)
What they’re looking for
- Experienced Project Quantity Surveyor
• Background with a main contractor essential
• Strong experience in residential new build (commercial exposure a bonus)
• Comfortable managing your own projects and subcontractor packages
• Commercially sound, organised, and confident working from an office environment
• Someone practical and delivery-focused rather than corporate Tier 1
The Company
A growing contractor operating across residential and commercial sectors, delivering new build and mixed-use schemes through a straightforward, delivery-led model.
The business offers stability, sensible workloads, and real responsibility — ideal for a QS who wants control of their projects rather than just a small piece of a large commercial machine.
