Job description

Groundworks
Location: Bridgwater (site – based) with office support in Bristol
Salary: £60,000 – £80,000 + digs
Working Pattern: Site based with up to 2 days per week remote working

We are recruiting for a Quantity Surveyor to join an established groundworks and reinforced concrete frame subcontractor delivering technically complex projects across the Southwest of England, with a strong and growing presence in Bridgwater and Bristol.

The role will support a diverse portfolio of work spanning EV and hydrogen infrastructure, retail and petroleum schemes, commercial developments, and heritage projects, including museums. A key current project is a large-scale EV battery storage facility in Bridgwater, where the business is delivering specialist groundworks and RC packages on a live site.

While historically recognised for delivering major schemes in London, the business has seen a significant increase in work across the Southwest and is actively investing in building along‑term regional presence, with plans to expand further into Wales. This role will suit a Quantity Surveyor from a groundworks subcontractor background who enjoys working closely with site teams and wants to be part of a business growing outside of its traditional core market.

Role Overview

As a Quantity Surveyor, you will be responsible for the commercial management of groundworks and reinforced concrete packages from site mobilisation through to final account.

This is a subcontractor side role, working under a mix of NEC and JCT contracts, with a strong emphasis on cost control, commercial reporting and close collaboration with delivery teams. The position is predominantly site‑based in Bridgwater, with support from the Bristol office and flexibility to work remotely up to two days per week, depending on project requirements.
