About Us
Thomas Alexander Homes is a high-quality residential developer building premium, sustainable communities within Yorkshire.

Reporting directly to the Commercial Director, this position is perfect for an experienced Quantity Surveyor or Estimator seeking flexible working parameters. If you prefer a front-end focus over ongoing site valuations, this role allows you to concentrate purely on land acquisition stages.
