Description

As our next Quantity Surveyor, you’ll be the key figurehead in your business area providing the commercial back-end functionality for Breedon’s surfacing solutions business. You are meticulous in your work and thrive on delivering exceptional service. You are commercially focused and have the confidence and credibility to excel in customer front end meetings.

This role will be supporting the business in the Oxfordshire area with some potential travel to other locations.

The Breedon Group, a job is a journey, not just a function. We’re the largest independent construction materials group in the UK and we’re on the up. Here, you can make your mark. Here, progressive change isn’t constrained by excessive red tape and layers of bureaucracy.

No role is pigeon-holed at Breedon. As Quantity Surveyor, you’ll be part of an agile and collaborative team environment. No need-to-know. No hidden agendas. This is an entrepreneurial business in which actions follow words and all staff pull together.

• Maintain accurate financial control systems and monthly reporting on cost value reconciliation
• Supporting operational teams on all matters relating to Contract and Commercial issues whilst maintaining the flow of information between the site and office
• Travelling to sites, when required, to support staff and clients

At Breedon, you can implement ideas and improvements and your expertise can be applied to delivering changes and improvements, quickly and efficiently. Be empowered to make decisions, rather than only being able to raise questions that someone else decides on. No one here is just a number or a seat. The senior leadership team are approachable, and staff engage and communicate, from top to bottom.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

• BSc / HND / HNC in Quantity Surveying - not essential
• At least three years of industry experience as a Quantity Surveyor in Highways and/or local authority sector
