Project Quantity Surveyor

Project Quantity Surveyor | Residential & Commercial | St Alban’s (Office-Based)

Join an established main contractor delivering a mix of residential and commercial projects across the South East and East of England.

This is a hands-on Project Quantity Surveyor role offering genuine ownership of live schemes, close collaboration with delivery teams, and exposure across both housing and commercial builds

You’ll be office-based day to day, with regular visits to live projects to stay close to delivery.

• Manage subcontractor procurement, accounts, valuations, and variations

• Produce cost reports, forecasts, and CVRs for senior management review

• Work closely with Project Managers and site teams to control cost and risk

• Support projects from pre-construction through to final account

• Office-based role with regular visits to live sites (typically weekly)
What they’re looking for

• Background with a main contractor essential

• Strong experience in residential new build (commercial exposure a bonus)

• Comfortable managing your own projects and subcontractor packages

• Commercially sound, organised, and confident working from an office environment

• Someone practical and delivery-focused rather than corporate Tier 1
The Company
A growing contractor operating across residential and commercial sectors, delivering new build and mixed-use schemes through a straightforward, delivery-led model.
