I’m currently working exclusively with a well-established carpentry & joinery contractor who is looking to bring on an Estimator / Quantity Surveyor due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of secured work.
This is a key role within the business, managing multiple projects while also supporting estimating and tendering when capacity allows.
The Role:
* Preparing accurate cost estimates and managing budgets across multiple projects
* Measuring and valuing works on-site, including interim valuations and final accounts
* Procuring materials and subcontractors in line with programme and budget
* Running up to 5 projects at one time (£250k – £2m)
* Liaising with clients, site teams, and internal departments to ensure smooth delivery
* Monitoring costs, identifying risks, and reporting on variations
* Supporting estimating and tendering activities when required
What I’m Looking For:
* Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within carpentry & joinery (essential)
* Must come from a subcontractor background – no main contractor experience only
* Strong understanding of joinery manufacturing and installation processes
* Hands-on carpentry/joinery background is highly desirable
* Solid commercial awareness and strong negotiation skills
* Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously
What’s On Offer:
* £60,000 – £75,000 salary depending on experience
* Long-term opportunity with a growing, stable contractor
* Genuine autonomy within the role
* Excellent benefits package including:
* Workplace nursery scheme (tax-efficient childcare)
* Store discounts across hundreds of retailers
* Grocery and pension salary sacrifice schemes
* Flexible working hours (7:30–4:30 or 8:00–5:00)
