The Quantity Surveyor is a vital member of the Whitebox team, reporting to the Whitebox Commercial Lead and Whitebox Construction Director. You will take full ownership of the commercial side of construction projects, ensuring they are delivered efficiently, on time, and within budget. Your responsibilities will include preparing accurate cost plans, managing procurement, monitoring project budgets, overseeing contracts, undertaking trade partner valuations and manging changes. You will work closely with site teams, designers, consultants, and trade partners to identify risks, control costs, and maximise value for clients. In addition to managing costs, you will play a proactive role in problem-solving, advising on commercial decisions, and contributing to the planning and delivery of projects.

This will give you the opportunity to be fully immersed in the site, working closely with the project team, trade partners, and consultants to manage costs, monitor progress, and ensure the project is delivered efficiently, on time, and within budget. While your primary base will be Plymouth, the role may also involve travel to other sites and client offices across the South West and occasionally nationally as required.

The company really takes sustainability seriously, so you'll feel like your work is making a real difference; not just for clients, but for communities and the environment too. There's a strong sense of teamwork and support here; people help each other out, share knowledge, and celebrate wins together.
