Due to continued growth, we’re looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor / Estimator to join our team and play a key role in the next stage of the business.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants responsibility, variety, and the chance to grow with a developing company rather than being a small cog in a large corporate machine.

  • Managing variations and assisting with final accounts.

  • Identifying cost\-saving opportunities.

You must have:

  • Experience in Quantity Surveying

  • Ability to read technical drawings

  • Strong understanding of domestic construction methods and costs

  • Good negotiation and supplier management skills

  • Attention to detail and strong organisational skills

  • Ability to work independently within a small team environment
Why Join Us?
  • Join a growing company with long\-term opportunities

  • Have genuine input into how the role and business develop

  • Friendly, supportive working environment

  • Competitive salary
If you’re looking for a role where your work is valued and your contribution genuinely makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Pay: From £55,000\.00 per year
