Construction Jobs

Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking for your next opportunity?
Are you a highly motivated, go-getter with an ability to cost, financially manage and de-risk projects in the construction and infrastructure sectors?

You will be accountable to the Chief Operating Officer. A good knowledge of British Archaeology would be helpful.
