This role is suitable for someone at the beginning of their career, including recent graduates, construction-related students, or candidates with a strong interest in quantity surveying and project costs.

- Support the preparation of client quotations, scopes of work, tender documents, and procurement packages.
- Help measure works from drawings, site information, specifications, and project documentation.
- Track project spending against agreed budgets and report cost movements.
- Assist with identifying and recording variations, additional works, and potential cost risks.
- Maintain organised records of quotes, invoices, purchase orders, contracts, and commercial documents.
- Support the preparation of payment applications, valuation information, and final account documentation.
- Attend site visits and project meetings where required.
- Work closely with the Project Manager to ensure commercial information supports project delivery.
- Learn and follow company processes for cost control, procurement, reporting, and supplier management.
