Job description

The Vacancy

We have an opportunity for a Project Quantity Surveyor to join our Planned team in the East Midlands area. Reporting into the Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for developing and implementing all pre- and post-contract strategies, managing commercial functions, and contract reporting.

Working closely with one of our social housing partners on a planned elemental replacement framework project, ideally, candidates should have experience in this area.

Key Accountabilities include:

1. Contributing to project commercial strategies and taking ownership of subcontract packages.
2. Conducting site visits, measuring works required, and pricing scoping documents with the schedule of rates as agreed with the client.
3. Collaborating with the commercial and operations teams to procure work packages in a timely manner, including producing a procurement programme.
