Description:
Commercial Assistant / Junior Quantity Surveyor
Location: Surrey
Salary: £30,000 to £40,000 depending on experience
Sector: Social Housing / Property Services
Type: Permanent
I’m working with an established property services contractor looking to add a Commercial Assistant, Junior Quantity Surveyor or Assistant QS to its commercial team.
This would suit somebody who already has some experience within social housing, property maintenance, repairs, voids or planned works and is looking to develop further within a commercial or quantity surveying career.
It isn’t a traditional site heavy Quantity Surveyor position.
The role is much more focused on the commercial management of day to day housing works, including Schedule of Rates, pricing, variations, subcontractor costs, applications and maintaining accurate commercial information across live contracts.
As a Junior Commercial Surveyor / Assistant Quantity Surveyor, you’ll work closely with both the commercial and operational teams, gaining exposure across the wider delivery process rather than sitting purely within an administrative function.
What you’ll be doing
Supporting the commercial management of social housing repairs, voids and planned works
Working with Schedule of Rates and assisting with pricing and commercial updates
Supporting quotations, variations and applications
Monitoring subcontractor costs and payment information
Maintaining commercial trackers, cost information and supporting documentation
Working alongside operational teams to ensure works remain commercially controlled
Liaising with clients, subcontractors and internal stakeholders
Assisting with commercial reporting across live contracts
Supporting the wider Quantity Surveying team as workload increases
Who could this suit?
You don’t need to be the finished article.
The key thing is having some relevant exposure to social housing, property maintenance, responsive repairs, voids or planned works and understanding the commercial processes that sit behind delivery.
Experience using Schedule of Rates / SORs would be particularly useful, as would exposure to subcontractor payments, valuations, applications, variations or commercial cost control.
Why consider it?
For somebody currently working as a Commercial Administrator or Assistant Quantity Surveyor who feels ready for more ownership, it could be a very sensible next move.
