Stansted / Bishop's Stortford
Permanent | Office-based
Are you a Quantity Surveyor with experience across Social Housing, Property Services or Planned Maintenance?
I'm working with a long-established contractor that has continued to grow significantly and has recently secured a number of new contracts. They're now looking to add an experienced Quantity Surveyor to their commercial team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to join a growing business, take real ownership of their workload and work closely with an experienced Senior QS.
What will you be working on?
You'll be involved in a range of planned maintenance and refurbishment programmes across Social Housing, including:
- Roofing
- Windows & Doors
- Kitchens & Bathrooms
- Retrofit
- Voids
- General Planned Maintenance
You'll have genuine commercial responsibility for your contracts, working closely with the operational team from valuation through to final account.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What are they looking for?
The most important thing is genuine Planned Maintenance experience. You'll ideally have:
- Previous QS experience within Social Housing, Property Services or Planned Maintenance
- Strong knowledge of NHF Schedule of Rates
- Experience managing commercial processes from valuation through to final account
- Good understanding of cost and value management
- Strong technical understanding of planned maintenance works
- Experience with areas such as roofing, scaffolding, windows & doors, K&B or refurbishment
- The ability to understand and measure works rather than simply manage the commercial process from behind a spreadsheet
- A personable, collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively within a close-knit team
Why consider it?
The business has grown significantly over recent years and is continuing to win new work.
- You'll be joining at an important stage of that growth, with the opportunity to take ownership, develop your commercial experience and progress as the business continues to expand.
- There is a clear opportunity for the right person to progress through the commercial team over time.
- You'll also work closely with the Senior QS and wider operational team, giving you good exposure to both the commercial and delivery sides of the business.
