Job description

If you’re a sharp, driven Quantity Surveyor who knows structural steel, this is the role that could define your career.

We’re Kilnbridge, and our steelwork and fabrication division is growing fast. This isn’t just another QS vacancy. It’s your opportunity to step into a senior commercial role within a specialist business that delivers on the UK’s biggest infrastructure and engineering projects, and is just getting started.

We’ve built a reputation for solving complex problems others won’t touch. In Northampton, we’re scaling our steel operation, investing in people, and looking for someone who wants more than just cost plans and CVRs. We want someone who wants to shape a business.

What’s the role?

You’ll be the right-hand to our Senior Commercial Manager, leading on quotations, subcontractor procurement, reporting and strategic growth plans. You’ll work across live projects and pre-construction, with a direct line into senior leadership and plenty of space to make the role your own.

What’s in it for you?

£70,000, £90,000 salary depending on experience

Full support and autonomy from day one

Employee-owned business where your voice matters

Role with growth, visibility and long-term opportunity

Projects that actually challenge and excite

What we’re looking for:

You know steel and fabrication, not just in theory, but on site

You’re confident handling packages, procurement, and pricing

You’re commercially sharp and operationally grounded

You want to grow something, not just maintain it

You’re based within reach of Northampton, and want to be involved

This is a rare chance to take ownership of your future and help build one of the UK’s most ambitious structural steel teams.

If you’ve outgrown your current QS role, or you’re just waiting for the right move, this is it.
