They want to process the correct candidate from Quantity surveyor as soon as realistically possible. The opportunities from there are to the n go on to become a Senior QS and/or Chartership.

About you:
An Assistant Quantity Surveyor who can demonstrate capability in working to targets and deadlines as well as overcoming challenges will thrive in this environment.
