Quantity Surveyor/ Estimator

Job description

DRB Building Limited is a growing UK construction company specialising in domestic projects, including new builds, extensions, refurbishments, and high-quality residential works. Due to continued growth, we’re looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor / Estimator to join our team and play a key role in the next stage of the business.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants responsibility, variety, and the chance to grow with a developing company rather than being a small cog in a large corporate machine.

The Role

You will be responsible for pricing work, managing costs and procurement across our domestic projects, working closely with directors, site managers, subcontractors, and suppliers.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Pricing all works including New Builds, Extensions and Renovations.
• Negotiating pricing and terms with suppliers.
• Producing and managing bills of quantities and tender enquiries.
• Monitoring project costs, margins, and cash flow.
• Managing variations and assisting with final accounts.
• Identifying cost-saving opportunities.

About You

We’re looking for someone practical and organised with experience in the domestic construction sector.

You should ideally have:

• Experience in Quantity Surveying
• Ability to read technical drawings
• Strong understanding of domestic construction methods and costs
• Good negotiation and supplier management skills
• Attention to detail and strong organisational skills
• Ability to work independently within a small team environment

Relevant qualifications are welcomed but not essential — we value experience, attitude, and a hands-on approach.

Why Join Us?

• Join a growing company with long-term opportunities
• Have genuine input into how the role and business develop
• Friendly, supportive working environment
• Competitive salary with progression and bonus potential

If you’re looking for a role where your work is valued and your contribution genuinely makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
