Job Description

Project Quantity Surveyor Social Housing Refurbishment

?? North Manchester

?? £40 £55k DOE + £4,500 Car Allowance & Benefits

Type: Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid Working

The Company

Our client is a reputable and growing construction contractor working across social housing refurbishment and planned maintenance throughout the North West. With a secure pipeline of work, they specialise in upgrading and maintaining occupied homes to meet modern safety, compliance, and energy efficiency standards.

They are now looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor to support live refurbishment schemes and contribute to continued business growth.

The Role

As Quantity Surveyor, you will manage the day-to-day commercial aspects of social housing refurbishment projects, supporting delivery teams from pre-construction to final account.

Projects include planned maintenance, fire safety upgrades, M&E improvements, and energy efficiency works in occupied properties. Refurbishment often uncovers hidden issues such as ageing services, legacy pipework, structural defects, or historic compliance gaps.

Intrusive works, particularly around M&E and fire safety systems, often require upgrading or replacing existing installations such as dry risers and sprinklers rather than installing new. These changes must be commercially assessed, controlled, and agreed.
