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.

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

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
