  • Assisting in the monitoring of project financial performance and reporting.
  • Contributing to the successful commercial outcome of challenging and rewarding projects.

What we're looking for:

  • Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor, ideally within a consultancy or main contractor environment.
  • Strong working knowledge and practical experience with NEC forms of contract is essential.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a natural ability to build rapport and engage effectively with clients.
  • Demonstrable organisational skills with the ability to effectively manage and prioritise workloads across multiple projects.
  • A proactive and commercially astute approach.
  • Experience or a keen interest in the Environment, Rivers, Ports & Marine sectors would be a distinct advantage.
  • Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline is preferred.
  • Working towards or holding RICS chartership would be beneficial but not essential.
  • Adaptability and a willingness to apply QS skills across different project types and sectors.

What's on offer:

  • Competitive basic salary: £38,000 - £50,000 (dependent on experience).
  • Car allowance.
  • Standard pension scheme.
  • Private healthcare and insurance (after a qualifying period of 6 months).
