Our client is one of the most well-regarded main contractors in Sussex. Operating over the last six decades delivering excellent projects across a well-blended, smartly-hedged portfolio of Public and Private Sector works. Financially stable, and with excellent supply-chain relationships, this business is in the enviable position of choosing their work, never chasing turnover for turnover's sake. They're strongly positioned for growth, with internal design and ground works capabilities, and their processes surrounding handover from estimating to delivery are arguable the Best In Show. They are looking to add senior quantity surveyors to their established commercial team, who will take on one key project, occasionally a second, from the estimating handover appoint to final account. The right applicant will be curious and commercial, interrogating data to look for risk and opportunity, and not afraid to remeasure a Day Works sheet or challenge a supplier price. You will be client-facing, able to attend Design Team Meetings; and able to communicate well, taking an active role in CV R's. You will of course know how to use relevant software, but more importantly than this, you will understand building, getting involved with the detail of the job, and integrating with the site team. In exchange, you will be joining a real Employer of Choice - a place where average tenure is in the double-digits; where the hierarchy is flat, and you will have open access to directors and shareholders; where curiosity and innovation is encouraged; and where you can be proud of the product, as they are an excellent builder. Reach out today for more details Eden Brown is committed to equality in the workplace and is an equal opportunity employer.
