We are working with an established construction main contractor delivering education, healthcare, commercial and industrial schemes up to £30m.

This is a key commercial position offering genuine responsibility, variety and visibility. You will act as project lead on larger schemes, taking projects from procurement through to final account, while working closely with operational teams, clients, consultants and supply chain partners.

You will also have the opportunity to manage and mentor Assistant Quantity Surveyors, helping them develop their commercial knowledge while ensuring projects are delivered with strong cost control, contractual awareness and commercial discipline.
