Job description

I’m working with a small consultancy with a friendly and close team, varied projects and people who genuinely enjoy working together. They’re looking for a QS who is self sufficient, build good client relationships and chip in with the team. Personality is a big thing here, they don't take themselves too seriously, have a laugh in the office and admittedly enjoy an after work drink/bite to eat and office debates.

They work on a mix of education, heritage, housing, leisure and commercial projects, mostly across the North West.

They're looking for someone who is ideally degree qualified and MRICS chartered, however would consider who is either working towards this or is keen to start the pathway. They’re also open to an intermediate QS finishing their degree and keen to work towards chartership.

Ideally you're commercially switched on, good with people and someone who uses their initiative.

They’re a small consultancy that packs a punch for its size, with a strong base of repeat clients and plenty of interesting projects coming through word of mouth.

Responsibilities

• Manage cost changes and risks, report on budgets and agree final accounts.
• Build strong relationships with clients, contractors and design teams.

What you get

• Hybrid working, with three days in the office.
• Flexibility around everyday life.
• Discretionary annual bonus.
• "Work from anywhere" policy.
• Support with professional membership.
