Quantity Surveyor | Prime / Heritage | Country Estate | Somerset (nr Castle Cary) | 2-year project

I am working with one of the most respected contractors in the Super-Prime Residential and Heritage sector - a business known for delivering some of the UK’s finest private residences, listed buildings and luxury hospitality projects.

They are looking for a Quantity Surveyor to join the commercial team on a £25m+ (construction costs) estate development near Castle Cary, Somerset.
The project itself is exceptional - A mixture of heritage refurbishment and high-spec new build across a large historic estate including:
• Listed manor buildings
• Restored barns and estate structures
• Hotel and hospitality elements
• Restaurants and accommodation
• Traditional construction alongside specialist finishes and crafts

It is the kind of environment where details matter.

Not because somebody put it in a company slogan - because you are working on buildings that have been standing since before Quantity Surveyors had spreadsheets to argue over. Importantly, this is also a company that genuinely values its commercial team.

You will be working alongside an established Senior QS and QS on a project that has only recently started, giving you the chance to become part of it properly rather than inheriting 18 months of buried problems and mysterious variation folders.

The role will involve: Procurement and package management. Valuations and final accounts. Variations analysis and cost reporting. Subcontractor management. Working closely with architects, clients and delivery teams

They are looking for someone with:
• High-end residential and/or heritage experience
• Good understanding of traditional buildings
• Strong commercial awareness without the ego
• Good longevity with previous employers
• A practical and methodical approach

Very professional business. Very high standards. Very good people.

Confidential conversations welcome.
