Up Front Recruitment is working with an established construction business specialising in structural steel, industrial and agricultural buildings, civils, groundworks and refurbishment. The business is looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor in Construction & Structural Steel to join its commercial function and take responsibility for the financial and commercial management of a varied portfolio of projects.

• £45,000 to £70,000 inc package – Salary dependent on experience

Established in Market Rasen in 1986, the business has grown from a local steel merchant into an integrated construction and structural steel specialist delivering projects across Lincolnshire and the wider UK. The business provides an end-to-end service covering concept design, planning, architectural design, structural calculations, civil engineering and groundworks, steel fabrication and full building erection.

Its work spans agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors, with projects ranging from smaller repairs and refurbishment through to major developments valued at up to £2 million. The portfolio includes steel portal frame buildings, industrial and agricultural buildings, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, storage units, livestock housing, grain stores, machinery sheds, silage clamps and commercial structural steelwork.

The business retains significant capability in-house, bringing together designers, detailers and CAD specialists with structural steel fabrication, civils, groundworks and construction teams. It also operates merchanting and industrial door divisions, giving the wider business a broad range of construction-related capabilities and allowing projects to be delivered with close coordination between different disciplines.

For an experienced Quantity Surveyor in Construction & Structural Steel, this provides exposure to a varied project portfolio rather than being restricted to one construction discipline. You will work alongside teams involved in design, steel fabrication, civils and construction, giving the role a strong connection to the full project lifecycle.

The business remains family-owned and has continued to develop its team and capabilities while retaining the accessibility and direct communication of a regional contractor. Its approach is built around responsibility, quality, teamwork and long-term client relationships, with a project portfolio that includes both repeat work and technically varied construction requirements.

The Quantity Surveyor will be responsible for the commercial management of projects, ensuring costs are controlled and commercial performance is monitored from initial pricing through procurement, delivery and final account.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Commercial management of construction and structural steel projects
• Cost control, forecasting and monitoring expenditure against budgets
• Preparing and reviewing valuations, variations and final accounts
• Procurement and management of subcontractor and supplier costs
• Reviewing project costs, identifying commercial risks and maintaining accurate records
• Working closely with project, design, fabrication and…
