Intermediate Quantity Surveyor | New Build & Refurbishment | Education Projects | St Albans
A growing main contractor delivering new build and refurbishment education projects is looking to appoint an Intermediate Quantity Surveyor to support an increasing workload and a maturing commercial team.
This role has been created due to project wins and internal progression, with existing Senior QSs focused on higher-level oversight and an Assistant QS starting to take on their own smaller jobs.
The business is now looking for someone in between - a capable, hands-on QS who can connect the dots, run jobs properly, and help keep the commercial function running smoothly day to day.
Projects typically sit in the £2.5m–£3m range, with occasional larger schemes up to £7.5m–£10m.
These are generally smaller sites, meaning you won’t be permanently site-based — this is a commercially focused role rather than a site-heavy one.
