Job description

Assistant Quantity Surveyor

York, site-based

£35,000 - £45,000 + Car Allowance + Progression + Training + Hybrid After Probation + Benefits

Are you an Assistant Quantity Surveyor / Junior QS looking to step up on major residential projects, with clear room to progress in a close-knit team? Do you want long-term stability, working for a well-established contractor with years of secured work ahead?

On offer is a permanent role where you will support the commercial team across live housing and care-home schemes, splitting your time between office and site. After probation, the role moves to a hybrid pattern giving you structure and flexibility.

This is a long-established regional contractor with multiple divisions and an excellent pipeline of frameworks and projects. With major schemes already on site (including a £10m residential development and a large care home project), they are growing their commercial team to meet continued demand.

In the role you will assist with valuations, cost control, subcontractor packages, and day-to-day commercial support on site, working closely with the Site and Contracts teams.

This role would suit a Junior / Assistant Quantity Surveyor with some site experience, ideally from a main contractor / housing background, looking for long-term development, bigger-project exposure and genuine progression.

The Role:

• Assistant Quantity Surveyor supporting residential projects (office and site based)
• Cost control, valuations and subcontractor / commercial administration support
• Working closely with Site and Contracts teams across live schemes
• Structured training, development & progression
• York-based with hybrid working after probation

The Person:

• Assistant Quantity Surveyor / Junior QS with some site-based experience
• Main contractor background in housing, apartments, or care homes
• Full UK driving licence
