Project Quantity Surveyor

Project Quantity Surveyor | Tier 1 Main Contractor | Essex | Up to £75,000 + Package

A leading Tier 1 main contractor is looking for a Project Quantity Surveyor to join a live project in Essex.

You'll be the number two on the project, working alongside a Lead QS who covers more than one scheme. In practice that means you'll run the commercial side of the job day to day, with the backing of an experienced senior. It's real responsibility and great exposure, and an ideal step for a Project QS who is ready to work towards Senior level.

The contractor delivers projects for blue-chip clients. It has a strong pipeline of work and a reputation for developing and promoting its people.

Day-to-day commercial management of the project on site
Subcontract procurement, tendering and package appointments
Subcontractor valuations, payments and final accounts
