I'm recruiting for a Quantity Surveyor to join a really solid and growing volume-housebuilder working across the North West. They’re busy with a lot of traditional-build sites focused on affordable homes, so if you're looking for a company with a strong pipeline and good job security, this is worth a look.

Ideally they’re looking for;
You’ll need a solid background as a QS, ideally within housing or groundworks (meaning you’ll have good awareness of the likes of Building regs, NHBC reqs & wider HSE issues and standards which impact on commercial matters.
You’ll be comfortable working through the full project lifecycle whilst being proficient with COINS & MS Excel & wider packages.
They’re open on whether you’re already running your own jobs or stepping up into that responsibility.
