Join a Leading Tier 1 Contractor

A.D.S Construction Personnel Ltd are supporting a major Tier 1 contractor in the Northern Home Counties region to recruit an experienced Quantity Surveyor. This role has been created to strengthen the commercial team ahead of a significant increase in tenders and upcoming secured work across Education, Leisure and wider public sector frameworks.

This is a people-focused, Investors in People Platinum environment with a strong forward order book, long-standing supply chain relationships and a culture built on trust, collaboration and Perfect Delivery.

The Opportunity

You’ll join a respected commercial team within the London & Home Counties business, supporting both live projects and a growing pipeline of new work. The role suits a QS who is comfortable leading schemes up to £10m, or acting as a number two on larger projects. Experience in PCSA, running your own projects, and working within Tier 1/Tier 2 main contracting will be highly valued.

Projects typically span Education, Leisure, Civic Buildings and public sector frameworks — with a strong emphasis on quality, customer service and repeat business.

Key Responsibilities

Provide accurate financial reporting to support commercial targets

Manage subcontractor accounts, ensuring full contractual entitlements

Build strong relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain partners

Support site teams with contract requirements and commercial guidance

Place and manage subcontract orders, ensuring timely payments and issue resolution

Monitor subcontractor progress against programme

Obtain competitive quotes and understand market trends

Assist with CVRs, cost value reconciliations and cashflow forecasting

Prepare applications for payment and ensure compliance with WIP and cash targets

Monitor internal expenditure against budget

Identify opportunities to maximise value and reduce cost

Operate commercial systems effectively (including COINS)

Support and coach junior commercial team members

Manage variations, claims and additional payments

Ensure full financial closure of projects in line with reporting timetables

Ideal Background

Experience delivering 2-stage projects

Strong main contracting background

Experience on Education or Leisure schemes between £10m–£30m

Comfortable leading schemes up to £10m or supporting larger projects

NEC4 or JCT experience

BSc/HND in Quantity Surveying or similar, and/or RICS membership

Strong understanding of construction techniques and commercial reporting

Confident producing site records, cost reports and payment documentation

Experience with COINS or similar commercial systems

Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll be joining a Tier 1 contractor with national reach, a healthy forward order book and a culture that genuinely invests in its people. The team is inclusive, supportive and ambitious — with clear progression pathways and a strong reputation across Education, Leisure and public sector frameworks.

If you’re a Quantity Surveyor looking to progress your career in a stable, collaborative and development-focused environment, this role offers the platform to do exactly that.
