Social House Building
East Midlands
55,000 - 65,000 + Car / Allowance + Package
A well-established and respected main contractor, operating since the 1980s, is seeking a talented Senior Quantity Surveyor to join its team in the East Midlands delivering social house building projects around the local area.
Here's the thing: not everyone wants to work for a big corporate PLC anymore. Some people want to actually know the people they work with. They want to feel like their voice is heard. They want to work for a company that takes pride in their work - and is genuinely respected by the people they build for.
That's exactly what this company offers.
They've carved out a niche in the social housing space and have built strong relationships with local authorities and housing associations - not because they're the biggest, but because they care. They deliver quality, they communicate well, and they show up when it matters.
The Role
As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will take commercial ownership of multiple social housing developments across the East Midlands region. Reporting to the Commercial Manager, you will ensure robust financial control from pre-construction through to final account, while driving best value and maintaining high standards of compliance and delivery.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the commercial function on social housing projects from procurement to final account.
Prepare cost plans, budgets, valuations, and financial reports.
Manage subcontractor procurement and oversee contractual agreements.
Monitor costs, variations, claims, and risk management procedures.
Collaborate closely with operational and site teams to ensure project success.
Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients, consultants, and subcontractors.
Provide guidance and mentoring to junior commercial staff.
The Benefits
Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
Company car or car allowance
Generous pension scheme
Private healthcare
Life assurance
Professional development and training opportunities
Career progression within a growing and reputable organisation
The opportunity to make a tangible difference in local communities through socially impactful projects
