Quantity Surveyor

About the Role

We are looking for an ambitious Intermediate Quantity Surveyor to join our growing commercial team.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has already gained a solid grounding in Quantity Surveying and is now looking for their second or third career move, where they can take on greater responsibility and continue developing their commercial experience.

You will work across a range of projects, taking responsibility for key commercial activities including valuations, cost reporting, variations, tendering, procurement and contractual matters.

Working closely with operational teams, clients, subcontractors and suppliers, you'll gain exposure to both the commercial and practical delivery of projects.

We're looking for someone who has moved beyond trainee or graduate level, has good commercial foundations and is ready to take greater ownership of their work while continuing to develop.

Key Responsibilities

* Prepare and manage project cost information and commercial transactions

* Assist with and take increasing ownership of monthly valuations and cost reporting

* Carry out site and digital measurements for tenders and live projects

* Identify, assess and manage project variations, highlighting potential commercial issues at an early stage

* Prepare tender documentation and analyse tender returns

* Support and manage aspects of subcontractor and supplier procurement

* Monitor project costs, commitments and overall commercial performance

* Maintain accurate commercial and contractual records throughout the project lifecycle

* Liaise with clients, designers, subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams on commercial and contractual matters

* Attend project, site and client meetings as required

* Assist with the management and resolution of commercial and contractual queries

* Prepare reports, schedules and cost-performance information

* Work closely with site and operational teams to understand project progress and identify commercial risks and opportunities

* Ensure commercial activities are completed accurately and in accordance with internal procedures

* Collaborate with project managers, contractors, and suppliers to negotiate costs and manage contractual changes

* Prepare tender documentation, analyse bids, and recommend the most competitive and feasible options

* Maintain comprehensive records of all financial transactions related to each project for transparency and audit purposes

* Support the procurement process by sourcing materials and services while ensuring cost efficiency

* Assist in resolving any discrepancies or disputes related to project costs or contractual obligations

* Contribute to risk management by identifying potential financial issues early and proposing mitigation strategies

These responsibilities develop the original role's focus on valuations, cost reporting, tender measurement, variations, procurement and stakeholder liaison while providing the greater ownership expected at Intermediate level.
