My client is a leading regional contractor with established offices across South Wales and the South West of England.

Following several significant tender wins and the securing of a long-term framework, they are looking to strengthen their expanding commercial team with the appointment of an experienced Quantity Surveyor.

The business delivers a diverse range of projects, typically valued between £5m and £30m, across sectors including commercial, healthcare, education, cladding remediation and fire protection.

The successful candidate will work closely with the wider commercial and operational teams, supporting the financial and commercial management of projects from pre-construction through to completion.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the commercial management of projects from inception through to final account.
• Preparing and maintaining accurate cost reports and forecasts.
• Assisting with subcontract procurement and management.
• Managing valuations, payments, variations and final accounts.

• Working closely with project teams to ensure effective cost control and project delivery.
• Maintaining strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and suppliers.
