• Building strong, lasting relationships with clients, consultants and the supply chain

• Previous exposure to education, leisure or commercial projects would be an advantage

• Confident with contracts, procurement, budgets and negotiations

• Strong communicator who thrives in a collaborative team environment

• Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or similar

• Up to 75,000 salary depending on experience

• Comprehensive benefits package including pension and car allowance

• Blend of office and site-based working for variety and balance

• Career progression within a secure, growing contractor that invests in its people

• The chance to deliver meaningful projects in the education and public sector that make a real difference to communities

This role is ideal for someone who wants more than "just another QS job" - it's an opportunity to be part of a contractor with strong values, repeat clients, and the resources to help you grow your career.
