I’m working with a growing main contractor who are looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor following a significant increase in secured workload.
The business has grown turnover by 45%, effectively moving a year ahead of its growth plan, and now has a substantial long-term order book through established local authority and housing association frameworks.
This is an opportunity for an ambitious QS to join a close-knit commercial team where there is plenty of support, but also genuine scope to take ownership, gain recognition and progress as the business grows.
The Role
- Commercial management of external refurbishment and roofing projects
- Managing approximately 2–5 live projects, depending on size
- Projects ranging from smaller works through to £10m
- Procurement and management of subcontract packages
- Valuations, variations, cost reporting and forecasting
- Managing subcontractor accounts through to final account
- Office-based with approximately 1–2 site visits per week
Current Workload
- Several c£3.5m external refurbishment projects
- Significant secured framework workload across social housing
- Long-term relationships with housing associations and local authorities
What they're looking for
- Quantity Surveyor with approximately 5–6 years' experience
- External refurbishment experience is key
- Roofing experience advantageous, but not essential
- Experience working across social housing / planned works beneficial
- Comfortable commercially managing multiple projects
- Energetic and ambitious – someone looking to progress rather than simply maintain their current level
The Business
- Circa £30m turnover, following 45% growth
- Long-term target to grow towards £60m turnover
- Significant secured order book and established framework relationships
- Structured commercial team including Commercial Manager, Senior QSs, Project QS, QSs and Trainee support
- Dedicated buying and document/commercial support functions
- Relaxed, non-corporate and close-knit office environment
- Clear reporting lines and opportunities to gain recognition as the company grows
Interested?
