Join a Leading Tier 1 Contractor

A.D.S Construction Personnel Ltd are supporting a major Tier 1 contractor in the Northern Home Counties region to recruit an experienced Quantity Surveyor. This role has been created to strengthen the commercial team ahead of a significant increase in tenders and upcoming secured work across Education, Leisure and wider public sector frameworks. This is a people-focused, Investors in People Platinum environment with a strong forward order book, long-standing supply chain relationships and a culture built on trust, collaboration and Perfect Delivery.

The Opportunity

You'll join a respected commercial team within the London & Home Counties business, supporting both live projects and a growing pipeline of new work. The role suits a QS who is comfortable leading schemes up to £10m , or acting as a number two on larger projects. Experience in PCSA, running your own projects, and working within Tier 1/Tier 2 main contracting will be highly valued. Projects typically span Education, Leisure, Civic Buildings and public sector frameworks — with a strong emphasis on quality, customer service and repeat business.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide accurate financial reporting to support commercial targets
• Manage subcontractor accounts, ensuring full contractual entitlements
• Build strong relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain partners
• Support site teams with contract requirements and commercial guidance
• Place and manage subcontract orders, ensuring timely payments and issue resolution
• Monitor subcontractor progress against programme
• Obtain competitive quotes and understand market trends
• Assist with CVRs, cost value reconciliations and cashflow forecasting
• Prepare applications for payment and ensure compliance with WIP and cash targetsMonitor internal expenditure against budget
• Identify opportunities to maximise value and reduce cost
• Operate commercial systems effectively (including COINS)
• Support and coach junior commercial team members
• Manage variations, claims and additional payments
• Ensure full financial closure of projects in line with reporting timetables

Ideal Background

• Experience delivering 2-stage projects
• Strong main contracting background
• Experience on Education or Leisure schemes between £10m–£30m
• Comfortable leading schemes up to £10m or supporting larger projects
• NEC4 or JCT experience
• BSc/HND in Quantity Surveying or similar, and/or RICS membership
• Strong understanding of construction techniques and commercial reporting
• Confident producing site records, cost reports and payment documentation
• Experience with COINS or similar commercial systems

Why This Role Stands Out

You'll be joining a Tier 1 contractor with national reach, a healthy forward order book and a culture that genuinely invests in its people. The team is inclusive, supportive and ambitious — with clear progression pathways and a strong reputation across Education, Leisure and public sector frameworks. If you're a Quantity Surveyor looking to progress your career in a stable, collaborative and development-focused environment, this role offers the platform to do exactly that.
