About The Role
Are you a commercially-minded Assistant Quantity Surveyor looking for a dynamic role that offers genuine professional growth? We are seeking a versatile, ambitious professional to join our team on a Temp to Perm basis, working alongside a prestigious Tier 1 client.
This is a fast-paced, mobile position covering high-value projects (GBP2M:GBP12M) across our key South East bases, including London, Thorney Island, and Brize Norton. Because you won't be fixed to just one spot, we need someone with the drive to succeed and an open mindset to adapt seamlessly to changing site environments.
Mentorship and Day-to-Day Training
While you will be involved in managing a diverse range of sub-contract packages, you won't be thrown into the deep end alone.

All necessary training, guidance, and day-to-day teaching will be fully provided, making this the ultimate environment to level up your commercial skills.
