The Company:
Our client is a growing, reputable main contractor with a strong track record across education and healthcare sectors, recently moving away from high-end residential projects.
With a current turnover of £7m and ambitions to grow to £10m, they’re securing places on key frameworks such as the Academy of State and Bromley Council.
They deliver high-quality refurbishments and fit-outs, and with a healthy pipeline of public sector projects, they are now looking for a driven Quantity Surveyor to support continued expansion.
The Opportunity:
This role is ideal for a young, hungry Quantity Surveyor with experience in fit-out, refurbishments, or public sector projects, who is looking to step into a pivotal position within a close-knit commercial team.

Your Role Will Include:
Supporting the Senior QS/Commercial Manager across multiple projects.
Running your own smaller-scale schemes.
Preparing and monitoring cost budgets.
Producing and reviewing valuations and payment notices.
Estimating costs including materials and subcontractors.
Occasional travel to live sites for measurement and progress updates.
Collaborating with site and project teams to manage variations and claims.
Experience Required:
3–5 years’ experience with a Main Contractor or Fit-Out/Refurb specialist.
Background in education, healthcare, or public sector frameworks desirable.
Degree or equivalent qualification in Quantity Surveying.
Highly motivated and commercially aware.
Able to thrive in a dynamic, growing business environment.
Ideally be local, or in commutable location.
Package:
Salary from £50,000 up to £70,000 (all-in), depending on experience.
Supportive team environment and direct access to senior leadership.
Career development with a fast-growing contractor.
Interview Process:
