Working Pattern: Primarily site based with flexibility  

We are recruiting for a Quantity Surveyor to join a specialist contractor delivering groundworks, reinforced concrete and structural alteration packages across the Southeast, with an office based in Surrey. 

The business was formed during Covid by an experienced industry professional with a strong background in delivering complex structural schemes. Despite being relatively new, the company has already secured a solid pipeline of work and operates with a highly experienced senior leadership team. 

The successful candidate will take commercial responsibility for a technical challenge, involving extensive groundworks, RC works and structural alterations, delivered under a JCT contract. This is a great opportunity to join a growing contractor at an early stage and play a key role in its continued development. 

Role Overview 

As a Quantity Surveyor, you will be responsible for the commercial management of the project from site mobilisation through to final account. 

This is a contractor side role working under JCT forms of contract, requiring close collaboration with site and delivery teams. You will report directly into the Commercial Director and will have real autonomy, influence and visibility within the business. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Commercial management of groundworks, reinforced concrete and structural alteration packages 

• Cost forecasting, CVRs, valuations and cash flow management 

• Preparation and submission of applications for payment 

• Managing variations, change control and final accounts 

• Working under JCT contracts 

• Procurement and commercial management of subcontractors and suppliers 

• Supporting site teams with commercial reporting and risk management 

About You 

This role is ideally suited to a Quantity Surveyor with strong groundworks experience, who enjoys working closely with site teams and managing complex packages on live projects. 

You will ideally have: 

• Proven groundworks experience (essential) 

• Reinforced concrete experience (preferred) 

• Experience with structural alterations (highly desirable) 

• Solid understanding of JCT contracts 

• A proactive, hands‑on and site‑focused approach 

• Confidence managing projects independently from a commercial perspective 

What’s on Offer 

• Salary between £60,000 and £80,000, depending on experience 

• Opportunity to join a young, ambitious contractor at an exciting stage of growth 

• Involvement in complex, technically challenging projects 

• Close working relationship with an experienced senior commercial team 

• Clear scope to progress as the business continues to expand
