I'm working with a well-established construction and property services contractor who are looking to appoint an Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team in Stratford-upon-Avon.
You'll work alongside an experienced Quantity Surveyor on a major programme of planned refurbishment and improvement works across residential properties, supporting the commercial management of projects.
Property Services, Social Housing or Planned Maintenance experience would be advantageous, but is not essential. The client is open to candidates from a range of construction backgrounds, including residential, new build, refurbishment and general contracting.
The Role
Reporting into the Quantity Surveyor, you'll provide day-to-day commercial support across a range of planned works programmes.
You'll gain exposure to project cost control, subcontractor management, procurement, valuations, financial reporting and contract administration while working closely with the wider Commercial and Operations teams.
Projects include a variety of residential improvement and refurbishment works, such as:
- Re-roofing
- Kitchen and bathroom replacements
- Window and door replacements
- Electrical testing and inspection programmes
- Residential refurbishment
- Elemental improvement works
