The Opportunity

We are recruiting a Quantity Surveyor to join a growing £66m business unit within a well-established national contractor, delivering recladding, refurbishment and decarbonisation schemes across the South.

• Oversee cost control, valuations, variations and final accounts
• Work closely with Contracts Managers and operational teams

This is a hands-on role – you will be expected to run your own jobs confidently and commercially.

• Planned maintenance programmes
• Social housing refurbishment
• Government-backed decarbonisation schemes

Clients include major registered providers and long-term framework partners across the South.

• Experience running projects independently
• Background in social housing, refurbishment, property services or recladding preferred
• Strong commercial grounding and understanding of JCT contracts
• Comfortable managing £5m+ packages
• Team-oriented, professional and steady approach

Degree-qualified is welcomed but not essential – experience and capability are prioritised.
