Are you the right person for the job?
Our client is looking for a junior–mid-level Quantity Surveyor with a solid construction background and ambition to grow with a company that is expanding. To succeed in this role, you should have:

* A driving licence (preferred, required for occasional site visits)
* Ideally, candidates will be within a 30-minute commute
Please note- our client is not seeking senior-level applicants with 20+ years' experience – this role suits early to mid-career professionals with ambition and a growth mindset.
