About Build Twenty Two
Build Twenty Two is a bespoke building company offering renovation, restoration and new build services across Bath, the Cotswolds, Wiltshire and Somerset. Founded by brothers Tom and Dan Blower, the business combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern, solution-driven approach, whether that means breathing new life into a Georgian townhouse, overseeing the sensitive extension of a listed country home, or delivering a bespoke new build from the ground up.
Every project is approached with care, precision and pride, and every client relationship is built on transparency, clear communication and professionalism from the first quote through to final completion.
As a growing business with a forward-thinking, lean approach to operations, Build Twenty Two is looking for a commercially astute Quantity Surveyor to help protect margins and keep projects running smoothly as the company continues to grow.
The Opportunity
You will take commercial responsibility for a portfolio of high-end new build, renovation and refurbishment projects, managing costs from tender and procurement through to project completion and final account. Working closely with Directors, Site Managers, clients, subcontractors and suppliers, you will ensure projects are commercially well controlled, risks are identified early, and margins are protected.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- Contracts, Variations & Final Accounts: Reviewing contract documentation, pricing and managing variations, maintaining accurate records to support valuations and claims, and negotiating final accounts with clients and subcontractors.
- Project & Client Collaboration: Working closely with Site Managers to understand progress and commercial implications, attending site and client meetings, and providing clear, accurate commercial advice to Directors and the wider team.
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience as a Quantity Surveyor within construction, refurbishment or fit-out
- A track record of managing projects commercially from pre-construction through to final account
- Strong understanding of procurement, subcontractor management, valuations and variations
- Good working knowledge of JCT contracts and construction contract administration
- Confident preparing budgets, forecasts, CVRs and commercial reports
