A reputable, privately-owned construction and development company is seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their expanding commercial team, initially supporting a refurbishment project in Nottingham. The company specialises in high-quality student accommodation, residential and care/retirement living developments, and has built a reputation for safe, efficient, and innovative delivery.
About the Company
The contractor was established in 2015 and has rapidly grown into a major player in UK accommodation-based construction — delivering projects for student housing, residential apartments (including build-to-rent/sell), and care/retirement living.
They operate a “Design to Budget” philosophy, ensuring cost-effective, value-driven, and client-focused project delivery. Their workplaces are underpinned by a culture of innovation, collaboration, sustainability and a commitment to employee well-being.
