• Clear career progression and professional development pathways
• APC support and ongoing training if you're working towards chartership

What We're Looking For

• 2-4+ years' experience in a Quantity Surveying role
• Strong communication skills and confidence in client-facing settings
• Experience leading post-contract meetings
• Employer's Agent experience (a bonus, not a deal-breaker)
• Chartered or working towards chartership (MRICS)
• A proactive, adaptable mindset and a genuine passion for the built environment
