• Contribute to a team-focused environment where colleagues help each other to support project delivery.
• Provide clear commercial advice, reporting, and forecasting to clients.

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within a consultancy environment (Senior level or strong Intermediate ready to step up).
• Strong understanding of procurement, tendering, and contract management.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Experience within industrial, logistics, or commercial sectors is advantageous.
