• Monitor project costs and support financial reports.
• Assist with valuations, budgets and forecasting.
• Work with Operations and Procurement to keep projects moving.
• Support the management of subcontractor packages.
• Join meetings when required to share updates and offer support.
• Help ensure contract and compliance requirements are met.

What you’ll bring

• Experience working as a Quantity Surveyor on medium‑sized jobs or several smaller projects.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office.
• Clear communication skills and a steady, organised approach.
• Strong organisational skills and a practical approach to problem‑solving.
• A full UK driving licence.

We’re a family‑run business built on honesty, teamwork and long‑standing relationships. We look after our people, support growth and encourage a sense of belonging. Your work will help make a positive difference to the communities we build in.
