Quantity Surveyor in Swanscombe

Quantity Surveyor | Main Contractor | Northfleet, Kent | Permanent

I’m working directly with a growing main contractor based in near Ebbsfleet who are looking to bring in a Quantity Surveyor due to continued project wins and a steadily expanding pipeline.

This is a business that’s grown quickly over the last 7–8 years to around £25m turnover, but importantly, they’re not trying to grow recklessly. The growth is now more controlled and stable, with a strong order book already in place.

The business was set up by people who came from larger contractor environments and they’re open to candidates from both Tier 1 and Tier 2 backgrounds - but equally, this could suit someone from a smaller contractor who wants better exposure and support.

• Working within an established commercial team currently made up of 3 QSs
• Looking after retail accounts and fast-track refurbishment projects
• Typical project values up to £3m
• Typical programme lengths around 8 weeks
• Procurement, subcontractor management, valuations, variations & final accounts
• Weekly commercial sit‑downs every Monday
• Monthly CVR / cost‑value reconciliation meetings
• Mix of office‑based working and site visits

This isn’t a role where you’ll be left on an island, but equally they want someone who can grow into the position and take ownership over time.

• Quantity Surveyor with contractor experience
• Open on background – Tier 1, Tier 2 or smaller contractor environments considered
• Someone in that middle‑ground level – able to learn but also contribute straight away
• Strong personality fit is important
• Commercially aware, organised and willing to get stuck in
• Someone with energy, character and a bit about them personally

• Main contractor delivering refurbishment and fit‑out projects
• Approx. £25m turnover
• Northfleet office location – close to Ebbsfleet station
• Office‑based culture with support from senior leadership
• Car allowance included

Good opportunity for someone wanting proper exposure, support from experienced people, and the chance to grow with a business that’s clearly moving in the right direction.
