I am working with a growing principal contractor delivering new build and social housing schemes across Shropshire and the surrounding areas. They operate as a main contractor, managing projects from concept to completion, with most works delivered through subcontracted trade packages.

The business is lean and hands-on. The office has a small, mixed team of four, supported by site and remote staff. It is a collaborative environment where everyone has visibility across projects and decisions, and progression is genuinely encouraged as the company grows.

They are looking to appoint a Junior or Assistant Quantity Surveyor to support the Director and Project Manager with the day-to-day commercial workload. You will gain exposure to the full commercial lifecycle and develop the skills to take on more responsibility over time, ultimately progressing into a Senior QS position and helping to manage that function within the business.
