Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking to work on exciting and high value projects?

Do you want to take ownership of projects worth up to £35m while developing your commercial career?

An established and growing business within the demolition sector is looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join its commercial team. You will work across an exciting and varied project portfolio, with values ranging from £200k to £35m, giving you exposure to a wide range of commercial challenges and the opportunity to work on some genuinely interesting projects.

The successful candidate must be an experienced Quantity Surveyor, with a relevant qualification and a background in either demolition or construction. This is an experienced hire, so candidates coming from a trainee or graduate background will not be considered. You will need strong experience managing projects commercially from award through to final account, with a solid understanding of contracts, valuations, variations, cost control, forecasting and subcontract management.

You will also need to be confident working closely with clients, subcontractors and operational teams, as well as being comfortable travelling regularly to project sites. The role is predominantly site based, with typically one or two days per week in the Birmingham office and additional office time towards month end. If you are commercially driven, organised and looking for a role where you can take genuine ownership of exciting projects, this could be an excellent next step.

The person:

• Experienced Quantity Surveyor
• Relevant qualification
• Demolition or construction experience
• Strong commercial and contractual knowledge
• Confident managing projects independently

The role:

• Manage projects up to £35m
• Manage valuations and variations
• Lead cost control and forecasting
• Manage subcontractors and final accounts
• Work closely with site teams

We are an equal opportunities company and welcome applications from all suitable candidates.
