Description:
The Company
Our client is a fast-growing, family-owned specialist contractor delivering reinforced concrete (RC) frames, groundworks, civil engineering and external works across London and throughout the UK.
Backed by many years of combined industry experience, the business has grown rapidly from a small founding team into a well-resourced operation capable of running multiple large-scale packages simultaneously, covering the full scope of substructure and superstructure works.
They are a genuine subcontractor of choice for leading tier-1 main contractors and residential developers, delivering everything from major residential schemes (developments ranging from a handful of units up to 120+ new-build homes) to commercial, industrial, education and healthcare projects.
Their capability spans:
* Reinforced concrete (RC) frames in-situ and precast
* Groundworks, foundations, piling and basements
* Civil engineering and substructure works
* Drainage, Section 278 and Section 50 works
* External works, hard landscaping and craneage
* Ground investigations and enabling works
Above all, this is a business that lives by “Work Safely, Home Safely” — a strong HSE culture that puts the safety and wellbeing of its people, supply chain and the public at the heart of everything it does.
The Opportunity
Off the back of continued growth and a strong, secured pipeline, our client is looking to strengthen its commercial team with an experienced Quantity Surveyor. This is a hands-on role with real ownership of your own packages and projects, and clear scope to progress as the business continues to scale.

* Procure and manage subcontractors and suppliers, including negotiating and administering orders
* Measure and value works from drawings and BoQs (RC frame / groundworks / civils)
* Administer subcontracts (typically JCT / NEC) and manage change, notices and entitlement
* Prepare and agree final accounts
* Work closely with operations, site and design teams to support delivery on time, on budget and to specification
* Support accurate cost forecasting, CVRs and management reporting
About You
* Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor (or Assistant/Intermediate QS ready to step up) with an RC frame, groundworks and/or civil engineering subcontractor or a main contractor with strong substructure/frame exposure
* Sound understanding of RC frame, groundworks and civils measurement, sequencing and buildability
