Quantity Surveyor - New Build Housing
Kitson Associates is working with an established house builder who is looking for a Quantity Surveyor to join its commercial team in Nottinghamshire. You'll join a close-knit commercial team and report to the Commercial Manager.
What's in it for you?- Competitive basic salary
- Car allowance or company car
- Bonus: paid in two instalments each year
- Hours:
9:00 - 17:00, a later start than many house builders! - Progression: a clear route to Senior QS with promotion and pay rises based on performance
- This role is for you if you are looking for a long-term move, not a stopgap.
- You'll take commercial ownership of two live developments, plus a possible third site that is either starting up or finishing off.
- Prepare and manage site budgets, cost plans and cost-to-complete forecasts
- Value subcontractor work, process monthly valuations and agree final accounts
- Support the Procurement Manager with tendering, subcontractor selection and awarding packages
- Manage variations, contra charges and commercial disputes with subcontractors and suppliers
- Produce accurate monthly cost reports and commercial reviews for the Commercial Manager
- Visit sites regularly to measure work, check progress and build strong relationships with site teams
- Spot and act on opportunities to protect margin and control costs
- Keep commercial records up to date in the company's systems (COINS or similar)
- You might be an Assistant QS ready to step up, or a Quantity Surveyor looking for broader responsibility.
- Essential:
Minimum two years' quantity surveying experience working for a UK house builder or contractor - Confident handling several trades, subcontractors and deadlines at once
- Commercially minded, with sound judgement on cost and value
- Happy to work from the office five days a week and visit sites as needed
- Full UK driving licence and within a reasonable commute of Nottinghamshire
- Knowledge of COINS, although training can be given
- A relevant qualification (HNC, HND or degree in Quantity Surveying or similar), or working towards one.
