* Experience:
Proven track record as a Quantity Surveyor (ideally within high-end residential or bespoke construction).
* Tech-Savvy: A genuine interest in modern systems and a willingness to integrate AI into daily commercial operations.
* Entrepreneurial Spirit:
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, "startup" style environment where you are the sole commercial authority.
* Local Knowledge:
Based within commutable distance of Oxford and comfortable visiting high-end sites across the Cotswolds.
Why Apply?

You are the foundation of the future commercial department.

Total control over your systems and processes.

Work on some of the most exclusive residential projects in the UK.
