Intermediate Quantity Surveyor

Intermediate Quantity Surveyor | New Build & Refurbishment | Education Projects | St Albans

A growing main contractor delivering new build and refurbishment education projects is looking to appoint an Intermediate Quantity Surveyor to support an increasing workload and a maturing commercial team.

This role has been created due to project wins and internal progression, with existing Senior QSs focused on higher-level oversight and an Assistant QS starting to take on their own smaller jobs.

The business is now looking for someone in between – a capable, hands‑on QS who can connect the dots, run jobs properly, and help keep the commercial function running smoothly day to day.

Projects typically sit in the £2.5m-£3m range, with occasional larger schemes up to £7.5m-£10m. These are generally smaller sites, meaning you won’t be permanently site‑based – this is a commercially focused role rather than a site‑heavy one.

• Intermediate Quantity Surveyor position within a small, experienced commercial team
• Working across education new build and refurbishment schemes
• Typical project values £1m-£3m, with some larger projects up to £10m
• Running projects commercially under Senior QS oversight
• Core duties include procurement, subcontractor management, valuations, variations, CVRs and cost reporting
• Supporting both Senior QSs and the Assistant QS as workloads increase
• Office-based with regular project visits (business mileage reimbursed)

• Intermediate-level Quantity Surveyor (or a strong QS ready for that step)
• Main contractor background preferred
• Comfortable running smaller jobs and owning the commercial process
• Sound understanding of JCT contracts and core QS duties
• Organised, reliable, and commercially switched‑on
• Someone who adds structure and stability rather than needing constant direction
• Happy working across multiple projects rather than being tied to one large site
