About the Company

An award-winning, main contractor delivering residential, education, commercial, leisure, and refurbishment projects across London and the Home Counties. Established in 2012, the business operates as part of a wider construction group offering design and build, refurbishment, decarbonisation, external works, and multi-utility services, providing a fully integrated construction offering.

Why Join Them

The company maintains a strong pipeline of secured projects and benefits from repeat business built on long-term client relationships. Directors remain actively involved in project delivery, creating clear communication and practical decision-making. Staff development is actively supported, making this a good environment for individuals looking to grow commercially while working on varied, well-managed schemes with consistent standards and expectations.

About the Role

This Quantity Surveyor role will involve managing commercial responsibilities across residential new build and refurbishment projects, working closely with operational teams from pre-construction through to final account.

The Quantity Surveyor will play an active role in cost management and reporting while contributing to the commercial success of multiple projects. The position offers responsibility alongside support from an experienced senior team, making it suitable for either an established Quantity Surveyor or someone with aligned experience looking to progress.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing project costs from procurement through to final account

• Preparing subcontractor packages and managing procurement processes

• Assessing subcontractor valuations and payments

• Monitoring project budgets, variations, and cost reporting

• Producing monthly valuations and financial forecasts

• Managing change control and variation submissions

• Supporting commercial strategy across live projects

• Working closely with site and delivery teams to track performance

• Maintaining accurate commercial records and documentation

• Assisting with risk and cost management throughout project lifecycles

Applicants should have experience within residential new build or refurbishment environments. Backgrounds focused purely on maintenance works, Tier 1 contracting structures, or subcontract-only roles are not aligned with the requirements.

Summary

This Quantity Surveyor position offers the opportunity to join a stable, growing contractor with a collaborative culture and diverse project portfolio. It provides long-term security, exposure to quality schemes, and clear potential for professional development within a supportive commercial team.
