Quantity Surveyor Leeds 6-Month Contract (Potential Extension)
Competitive Day Rate | PAYE/Umbrella Only - No CIS Available
Daniel Owen are currently recruiting for a Quantity Surveyor on behalf of a well-established principal contractor delivering high-value commercial and education fit-out projects across Leeds.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an established team on an initial 6-month contract, with a strong possibility of extension for the right candidate.
The Role
Working across two major live projects, both valued at over £10 million, you will support the commercial delivery of high-specification fit-out works within the commercial and education sectors.
The projects are delivered under Design & Build (D&B) contracts. Whilst the design is outsourced, the contractor retains full D&B responsibility, so previous experience working within this type of environment is essential.

- Managing the commercial aspects of two live D&B fit-out projects
- Administering and managing NEC4 contracts
- Cost management, valuations, variations and commercial reporting
- Working closely with site teams to monitor project performance

- Using SitePro confidently and efficiently to manage project information

Requirements

- Previous experience on commercial fit-out and/or high-specification education projects
