With long-term contracts, established client relationships and a varied pipeline of work, this is an excellent opportunity for a commercially strong Quantity Surveyor looking for stability, responsibility and genuine career progression.

The Role

As Quantity Surveyor, you'll take commercial responsibility for planned maintenance and refurbishment projects, working closely with operational teams to ensure contracts are delivered efficiently, profitably and in accordance with client requirements.

Projects can involve kitchen and bathroom replacement programmes, roofing, windows and doors, external refurbishment, fire safety improvements, retrofit and wider property investment works.

Your responsibilities will include:

Commercial management of planned works and refurbishment contracts

Subcontractor procurement and management

Applications, valuations and payments

Monthly CVRs, forecasting and cost reporting

Managing variations and contractual change

Monitoring budgets, expenditure and profitability

Preparing and negotiating final accounts

Working closely with operational and client teams

Ideally, you'll have:

Previous Quantity Surveying experience within construction or maintenance

Experience working on planned works or refurbishment contracts

Strong subcontractor procurement and management skills

Good CVR, forecasting and cost reporting experience

Excellent contractual and commercial awareness

Confidence managing multiple projects or workstreams

Strong communication and negotiation skills

A relevant Quantity Surveying qualification would be advantageous

Experience within social housing, kitchens and bathrooms, roofing, external works, retrofit or decarbonisation would be particularly attractive.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join an established national contractor with a substantial presence across property maintenance, refurbishment and housing improvement.

The business has a strong history of delivering long-term contracts and provides the opportunity to work across a diverse portfolio of projects rather than being restricted to one type of construction activity.
