Quantity Surveyor / Senior Quantity Surveyor – Leading Tier One Contractor

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor to join a well-established Tier One main contractor delivering high-profile construction projects across the South West.

This is a flexible role based out of the company's Bristol office. The successful candidate will initially support a major external refurbishment project in Plymouth, however the role offers flexibility depending on where you're based.

Candidates living closer to Bristol will be able to spend much of the working week in the Bristol office, travelling to the Plymouth project approximately one day per week. Those based further south may choose to spend more time on site. Following the completion of the Plymouth scheme, future projects are expected to be located closer to Bristol, making this an excellent long-term opportunity for candidates across the South West.

Applicants based around Bristol, Tiverton, Exeter, Taunton, Bath, Weston-super-Mare or the wider South West are encouraged to apply.

This is an opportunity to join a business with a strong pipeline of work, excellent career progression and a collaborative, supportive culture.
