Quantity Surveyor

Position: Quantity Surveyor (Permanent)
We’re recruiting a Quantity Surveyor to join a fast-growing manufacturing business. This is a hands-on, commercially influential role, sitting close to engineering, procurement, and operations.

Cost planning, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
Preparation and management of contracts, valuations, and final accounts
Supporting procurement activities, including tender analysis and supplier negotiations
Managing change control, variations, and risk across live projects
Working closely with engineering, operations, and finance teams to drive cost efficiency
Providing clear commercial reporting to senior stakeholders
Supporting continuous improvement in cost control and commercial processes

Confidence working cross-functionally with non-commercial stakeholders
A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach suited to a fast-moving business
Strong Excel and commercial reporting skills
