Senior Quantity Surveyor Structures + Civil Engineering £80,000 to £110,000 per annum About the Employer: With offices in London our client is a specialist structures and civil engineering subcontractor who has been trading for over 30 years and currently has a total turnover of over £100 million per annum. They have developed from a traditional RC frame background into a company that now provides concrete works, structural steel works, associated groundworks, demolition and builders work packages to a variety of sectors and projects (i.e. airports, energy projects, rail projects, HS2, infrastructure projects, commercial projects and residential projects). This company really can provide an excellent level of diversity in both project types and sectors of work. From a people point of view, I have dealt with the MD and directors of the business for over 10 years and have seen them develop their team not just to fill spaces as new projects land or as they grow, but to truly bring people in who fit their culture and can bond with them for the long term. They are one of the better payers in the sector and always offer opportunity for people to progress, so they are the all-round solid option for someone who wants to be paid well, taken care of and also given a variety of projects to gain experience on. About the Opportunity: As a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor for this business the duties are fairly straight forward; you will be required to maintain financial oversight on a selection of packages across individual or multiple projects (depending on the level of your experience). From the moment the project is awarded to when the final account is agreed, you will be expected to watch, report and maintain costs while reporting back to the directors. Every project you will be involved with will include structures and associated civils. And that is it. Simple! About the Requirements: To be considered the two most important criteria are that you have; 1) worked as a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor for 2) an RC frame & groundwork subcontractor in the UK or a specialist civil engineering subcontractor within the rail and infrastructure markets in the UK. Ideally applicants will be degree qualified in quantity surveying or commercial management, but the experience in this role with these types of contractors in the UK is the most important part. Also, I should mention that stability of employment is taken into account by everyone I work with. If you ve held stable periods of time with the employers you have worked for, it is seen as a massive positive. My clients will employ on a PAYE or self-employed / limited company basis, but make no mistake, they are looking for long-term people who are career focused and looking to stay on with the business for a number of years. About the Benefits: I am expecting to consider those looking to earn anywhere from £80,000 to £110,000 per annum. This can be paid PAYE or self-employed/limited company basis (circa £350 to £500 per day). Obviously, the level will be agreed on a case-by-case basis depending on previous experience, but I know these levels are available for people with the right experience. In addition to this, annual bonuses are available and travel costs. The office offers a modern feel with good transport and parking links. And the environment at this business is that of one with a family feel. They are a close-knit bunch, that work hard and play hard and personally I would be surprised if anyone struggles to get on with the team. About Me, Your Consultant: My name is Andrew Jackson and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 20 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of structures, groundworks, demolition and civil engineering. So, what does that mean for you? It means, I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK as well as overseeing a team that covers the whole of civil engineering and I can help not only introduce you, but I can give you up to date information on a variety of contractors within these fields, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward. I ve been doing this for a while now and I ve maintained a positive reputation doing what I do because I don t tell people lies. I tell them everything I know and then let them choose. My job is simply to get you the options, give you the information and then let you decide what feels right for you. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss these opportunities with you over the phone or face to face in a fully confidential manner (you can get to know me while I get to know you). And I know this is an incestuous sector and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete. It would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR laws, nothing will be done with your CV / details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, will help when we come to discuss options.

Your position in the business will report directly to the commercial director and you will be responsible for overseeing a variety of concrete frame, basement, and groundwork packages from award through to final account. There is room for progression within this business as they are currently turning over around £300 million per annum across the country and they are still growing. I am looking for career-focused individuals who want the opportunity to be part of a close-knit team that is all working towards building a great business in this competitive sector. So, if you are an experienced concrete frame or groundwork quantity surveyor and you want to join one of the absolute best businesses in this sector with lots of opportunities for people to develop, this could be the perfect option.

Their client base includes top-tier developers, main contractors, and direct users, and their sectors of work include residential, commercial, energy, infrastructure, and industrial. They have offices in and around London, with a large proportion of their workload inside the M25. On a personal note, I work very closely with this business not only because of their size and capability but also because of their vision, goals, and attitude towards what they do and how they do it.

Travel will include projects all over London. Hybrid working is available, with a number of the surveyors splitting their time working from the office, sites, or remotely, but this may only be available after probation periods have been completed. About the Benefits: For this opportunity, I am targeting someone looking to earn between £70,000 to £100,000 per annum (depending if you are a QS or Senior QS). This bracket is flexible and starting figures will be based on experience and previous history but in addition to this, our client is offering a comprehensive package including the usual s such as pension, car or travel allowance, and also a good bonus scheme. If you would prefer a self-employed payment method, we can consider people on a limited company (or similar) basis. Day rates will be negotiated to reach a similar annual amount. But aside from the earning potential, this opportunity really does offer the right individual exciting career options with a fantastic organisation. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face to face in a fully confidential manner (you can get to know me while I get to know you).

This bracket is flexible and starting figures will be based on experience and previous history but in addition to this, our client is offering a comprehensive package including the usual s such as pension, car or travel allowance, and also a good bonus scheme. If you would prefer a self-employed payment method, we can consider people on a limited company (or similar) basis. Day rates will be negotiated to reach a similar annual amount. But aside from the earning potential, this opportunity really does offer the right individual exciting career options with a fantastic organisation.

Alternatively, it would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option.
