Start Date: ASAP
Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking for a new permanent opportunity where you can truly make an impact from day one? We're seeking a highly motivated individual with a strong background in groundworks for house building projects – someone who knows the industry, understands the pace, and can hit the ground running without the need for hand-holding.
This is a key role within a growing team, based out of our Worsley office, with regular site visits to projects across the region. You’ll be joining a well-established business with a healthy pipeline of residential groundwork schemes covering drainage, roads, foundations, and 278 works.
What You'll Be Doing:
* Managing costs across multiple residential groundwork projects
* Preparing and reviewing bills of quantities, take-offs, and tender packages
* Carrying out valuations, cost forecasting, and subcontractor payments
* Managing procurement and negotiating contracts with subcontractors and suppliers
* Working closely with operational teams to ensure financial control from start to finish
* Attending site meetings and liaising with clients, engineers, and project managers
What We’re Looking For:
* Minimum 5 years’ experience in quantity surveying – ideally with a focus on groundworks, infrastructure, or residential civil engineering
* Proven track record of running multiple projects independently, with limited supervision
* Strong working knowledge of current NEC/JCT contracts and commercial procedures
* Excellent communication, negotiation, and reporting skills
* Someone who is motivated, reliable, and takes initiative
* Fully office-based role with regular site visits – no hybrid or remote working
* Able to start quickly and integrate into the team immediately
What You’ll Get in Return:
* Competitive salary between £40,000 and £60,000, with flexibility for highly experienced individuals
* Long-term, stable role within a secure and growing company
* Exposure to major residential groundwork schemes and a variety of projects
* A solid and supportive team who value hard work and accountability
