Quantity Surveyor

CPC PROJECT SERVICES - Construction Consultancy Quantity Surveyor / Project Surveyor Liverpool/Manchester (open to both) | Residential Team

Looking to build a career, not just fill a role?

If you want real project exposure, mentorship from experienced consultants, and a genuine path towards Senior QS and Employer's Agent status, this could be the next step you're looking for.

We're looking for a Quantity Surveyor or Project Surveyor who's ready to get hands‑on with cost and commercial management on complex residential schemes, and grow into a senior, client‑facing role over time.

We're growing our North West Residential team at CPC Project Services and we're doing it properly - not back filling roles but investing in people we want to develop and keep.

We've seen a major increase in project awards across a number of key residential frameworks, alongside new opportunities coming through our in-house Land & Partnerships team.

In short: we've got the work, and we need the right people to help deliver it.

You’ll join a high-performing, close-knit residential team of 20+ professionals across our UK offices, working on projects that genuinely make a difference throughout the North West.

We partner with some of the area's most prominent housing providers, delivering complex residential schemes within social housing, our core market, alongside Build-to-Rent (BTR), extra-care and supported living developments.

Our live portfolio includes multiple large-scale contracts throughout the region, typically 100–150 units, with a strong focus on regeneration, affordable housing and the creation of sustainable, mixed-tenure communities.

You’ll be hands‑on from day one, working alongside senior consultants and Employer's Agents on live residential schemes, and building towards taking on more of the following yourself:

• Supporting early site due diligence assessments / viability reviews
• Contributing to technical detail review / risk register production
• Assisting with pre- and post-contract programme production, building your understanding of key milestones
• Cost estimate / plan production
• Supporting tender / procurement strategy advice and implementation
• Assisting with contract selection advice and negotiation
• Contract administration (JCT suites covering D&B, SBC, Intermediate and MW, in addition to Development Agreements)
• Building client relationships alongside senior colleagues — with a clear path towards leading those relationships yourself
• Supporting delivery: keeping schemes on time, on budget, to a high standard
• Learning from experienced consultants, with genuine support and mentoring to help you progress towards Senior QS / Employer's Agent status

• Working towards or recently achieved MRICS chartership
• Some exposure to housing is preferred — affordable housing is our ideal, but broader residential experience (apartments, mixed‑tenure schemes, BTR) will also be considered
• Employer's Agent exposure isn't essential — we'll support you to build these skills, including chairing meetings and being client‑facing, as you develop
• Keen, proactive, and genuinely interested in developing your commercial and client‑facing skillsi>
• Consultancy background is our preference, but we're equally open to client-side or main contractor QSs, provided you have some housing experience

We're not your typical consultancy.

• Employee-owned — you share in the success you help create
• Clear progression — not just talked about, actually delivered
• Real impact — your work is visible, valued and recognised
• Strong pipeline — meaningful projects that improve communities
