Job description

An established and respected construction consultancy is seeking an Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join its expanding Project and Fund Monitoring team.

This role offers a different perspective from a traditional project-based QS position. Rather than being tied to a single scheme, you will gain exposure to multiple developments across a range of sectors, seeing projects progress from pre‑contract and funding approval through construction to handover. It's an ideal opportunity for a QS who wants to broaden their commercial skill set and develop a more strategic, advisory understanding of how projects are delivered and funded.

The Role

Working alongside experienced senior surveyors, you will support the delivery of project and fund monitoring services for banks, lenders, investors and developers. Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with project and fund monitoring commissions across multiple sectors and project types
• Supporting projects through the full development lifecycle, from pre-contract review to completion and handover
• Reviewing development appraisals, cost plans, programmes and procurement strategies
• Monitoring build costs, cash flow and drawdown requests from a funder and investor perspective
• Carrying out site inspections and reporting on progress, risk, variations and compliance
• Supporting due diligence exercises and lender advisory reporting
• Preparing clear, concise and commercially focused reports for client and funder use

This role provides a broader, portfolio-level view of construction projects, encouraging analytical thinking and commercial judgement beyond day-to-day measurement and valuations.

About You

• Degree-qualified (or similar) in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline
• Experience in a consultancy or contractor environment is welcome
• A genuine interest in project or advisory-based QS work
• Strong commercial awareness with a detail-oriented and analytical mindset
• Confident written and verbal communication skills
• Willing to travel to sites nationwide as part of a hybrid role

This opportunity would suit:

• Assistant QSs in consultancy roles looking for wider project exposure
• Contractor-side QSs seeking a more client-facing, advisory position
• Graduates or early-career QSs keen to understand how projects are funded, assessed and controlled

What's on Offer

• Hybrid working
• Exposure to projects at multiple stages simultaneously, rather than a single long-term scheme
• Experience across a variety of sectors, enhancing long-term career flexibility
• Development of skills in risk analysis, reporting, funding and commercial decision-making
• Structured support, mentoring and clear progression within a specialist monitoring team
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Support towards professional development and chartership

This is an excellent opportunity for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor who enjoys the technical foundations of QS work but wants to build a broader, more strategic consultancy skill set within a growing and specialist team
