Job description

Senior Quantity Surveyor

£60,000 – £65,000 + Car allowance + Bonus + Progression + Benefits Package

Chesterfield, Derbyshire

This is a rare opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor with residential or groundworks experience to join an award‑winning, privately owned developer in a key commercial position, with genuine progression to Commercial Manager and a long‑term route to Director.

This is a fantastic chance to join a quality regional housebuilder that is going through a phase of growth and plans to double turnover across the next five years. You will be part of a close‑knit team, have real opportunities for progression and work in a forward‑thinking environment.

This company is a highly reputable housebuilder that specialises in delivering high‑quality developments across the Midlands. Their developments range from singular, multi‑million‑pound plots up to 200 units, producing traditional build units. They are currently undergoing an exciting period of growth and have plans to double in size over the next three years.

In this role, you will work on three to four construction projects at any given time, ensuring their successful delivery. Key responsibilities include valuing work produced by sub‑contractors, procurement, attending meetings and agreeing payments.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor looking to hold a more vital role, where contributions are valued and you will be encouraged to bring ideas forward and eventually help mentor junior Quantity Surveyors.

The ideal candidate will have previous Quantity Surveying experience on residential housing or groundworks projects, will feel stagnant in their current role and wants to join a smaller builder where their contribution is valued.

The role

• Managing the cost control of residential housing projects
• Producing a Bill of Quantities, procurement and cost reporting
• Working on monthly valuations through to final accounts
• Liaising with construction, design and technical departments

The person

• At least 3 years of Quantity Surveying experience
• Residential, housing or groundworks background
• Confident in producing Bill of Quantities and value engineering
• Ambitious and self‑motivated
