We’re recruiting a Quantity Surveyor to join a fast-growing manufacturing business. This is a hands-on, commercially influential role, sitting close to engineering, procurement, and operations. You’ll play a key part in cost control, contract management, and capital project delivery as the business continues to scale.

As Quantity Surveyor, you’ll be responsible for managing cost and commercial performance across manufacturing-led capital and operational projects, including:
Full commercial management of manufacturing and industrial projects (CAPEX and OPEX)
Cost planning, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
Preparation and management of contracts, valuations, and final accounts
Supporting procurement activities, including tender analysis and supplier negotiations
Managing change control, variations, and risk across live projects
Working closely with engineering, operations, and finance teams to drive cost efficiency
Providing clear commercial reporting to senior stakeholders
Supporting continuous improvement in cost control and commercial processes
The Ideal Candidate

Strong commercial and cost management capability
Experience working with contracts and suppliers in a project-based environment
Confidence working cross-functionally with non-commercial stakeholders
A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach suited to a fast-moving business
Strong Excel and commercial reporting skills
Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or similar
