We're working with an award-winning house builder with an outstanding reputation for delivering high-quality residential developments across the UK.

  • Preparing cost reports, forecasts and commercial updates.
  • Managing variations, change control and commercial risk.
  • Monitoring project budgets and identifying opportunities to maximise profitability.
  • Working closely with site management, technical and construction teams.
  • Supporting the commercial delivery of a complex, large-scale RC Frame development.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within the residential sector is essential.
  • Experience working for a house builder, residential developer or main contractor delivering large residential schemes.
  • RC Frame or high-rise residential experience would be advantageous.
  • Strong commercial awareness and subcontractor management skills.
  • Confidence managing packages and taking ownership of commercial responsibilities.
  • Ambition to develop into a Senior Quantity Surveyor role.

What's on Offer?

  • £60,000 – £65,000 basic salary.
  • Car Allowance.
  • Competitive benefits package.
  • Clear progression to Senior Quantity Surveyor within 18 months.
  • Opportunity to work on a landmark, large-scale residential development.
  • Join an award-winning developer with a strong pipeline of future projects.
  • Supportive commercial leadership and genuine opportunities for career development.

Why Consider This Opportunity?
