I’m working directly with a growing main contractor based in near Ebbsfleet who are looking to bring in a Quantity Surveyor due to continued project wins and a steadily expanding pipeline.
This is a business that’s grown quickly over the last 7–8 years to around £25m turnover, but importantly, they’re not trying to grow recklessly. The growth is now more controlled and stable, with a strong order book already in place.
The business was set up by people who came from larger contractor environments and they’re open to candidates from both Tier 1 and Tier 2 backgrounds - but equally, this could suit someone from a smaller contractor who wants better exposure and support.
The Role
- Working within an established commercial team currently made up of 3 QSs
• Looking after retail accounts and fast-track refurbishment projects
• Typical project values up to £3m
• Typical programme lengths around 8 weeks
• Procurement, subcontractor management, valuations, variations & final accounts
• Weekly commercial sit-downs every Monday
• Monthly CVR / cost-value reconciliation meetings
• Mix of office-based working and site visits
This isn’t a role where you’ll be left on an island, but equally they want someone who can grow into the position and take ownership over time.
What they’re looking for
- Quantity Surveyor with contractor experience
• Open on background - Tier 1, Tier 2 or smaller contractor environments considered
• Someone in that middle-ground level - able to learn but also contribute straight away
• Strong personality fit is important
• Commercially aware, organised and willing to get stuck in
• Someone with energy, character and a bit about them personally
The Business
- Main contractor delivering refurbishment and fit-out projects
• Approx. £25m turnover
• Northfleet office location - close to Ebbsfleet station
• Office-based culture with support from senior leadership
• Car allowance included
Good opportunity for someone wanting proper exposure, support from experienced people, and the chance to grow with a business that’s clearly moving in the right direction.
Happy to run through the business, team and live work in more detail. Also open to referrals (fees paid).
