We're looking for a Quantity Surveyor with a minimum of 3 years' experience to join our Derby-based civil engineering client.

The business works across groundworks, drainage, reinforced concrete and external works projects, so you'll be supporting a varied mix of schemes rather than being tied to one type of work. The projects our clients work on vary from £100k - £5m value.

• A relevant Quantity Surveying qualification, such as a degree, HNC/HND or equivalent
• Experience with valuations, variations, cost reporting and subcontractor accounts
• Confident working across both office and site environments
• Full UK driving licence

What you'll be doing

• Commercially supporting civil engineering projects from start through to final account
• Preparing valuations and applications for payment
• Managing variations and compensation events
• Monitoring project costs, forecasts and margins
• Managing subcontractor packages and accounts
• Working closely with site teams, project managers and clients
• Supporting projects across groundworks, drainage, reinforced concrete and external works

You’ll be based from the Derby office with regular travel to sites as required. A car allowance is provided for site travel.
