They’re looking to bring in a Quantity Surveyor (or strong Assistant QS ready to step up) to support the Commercial Lead and play a key role in managing ongoing workstreams.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll be exposed to live projects from day one and given the opportunity to grow quickly as you add value.

You’ll be involved across the full commercial lifecycle, including:

• Pricing and estimating works
• CVR reporting and cost control
• Managing applications and valuations
• Supporting job close-out and final accounts
• Monitoring monthly workstreams
• Raising and managing early warnings
• Working across CRM systems (IFS preferred)

What They’re Looking For

• 3+ years’ experience in a Quantity Surveying role
• Open to Assistant QS stepping up into a QS position
• Experience in utilities or water sector (preferred, not essential)
• Strong Excel capability
• Familiarity with CEMAR / commercial systems (IFS advantageous)
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment

Why This Role?

• Clear opportunity to progress quickly as you prove your value
• Direct exposure to senior commercial leadership
• Stable pipeline of framework work
• No red tape — you’ll actually get things done

Package

• £40,000 – £50,000 depending on experience
• Long-term framework stability
• Immediate start available

Interview Process

I will conduct initial interviews via Teams, followed by an in-person interview prep meeting for candidates being put forward to the client. We’re looking to move quickly on the right person.

If you’re looking for a role where you can step up, take ownership, and build your career quickly, this is worth a conversation.

Apply directly or message me to discuss in confidence.
