I'm working with a growing specialist contractor that is investing heavily in its Pre-Construction division, with a significant pipeline of projects across the South.
They're now looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join the commercial team and work closely with the Commercial Manager across a growing portfolio of projects. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than just managing the commercial side of individual schemes. The role will also give you the opportunity to lead, mentor and develop junior commercial staff, while helping shape the processes and standards of a growing division.
The Role
As a Senior Quantity Surveyor within the Pre-Construction team, you'll take responsibility for the commercial management and performance of your allocated projects, working closely with the Commercial Manager and wider pre-construction team.
