For over 60 years, we have been delivering premium homes for a life less ordinary. Built with care, quality and attention to detail, our homes are set within carefully planned, sustainable communities in beautifully chosen locations, giving our customers a home they’ll love.
Our success is built on exceptional people, and we’re committed to attracting, developing and retaining the very best talent in the industry. We’ll give you the support, opportunities and culture to thrive, grow your career and be part of something that matters in a place where you can truly belong.
Crest Nicholson's well established Eastern division are looking for a Senior Surveyor to join the team working from our Brentwood Office, where you will be covering developments across the region.
We take pride in delivering homes that exceed our customers’ expectations, and our Quantity Surveyors play a critical role in making that happen. From managing costs and driving value to building strong relationships with our supply chain, you’ll help shape the commercial success of developments that will become part of people’s lives for generations to come.
As an HBF five-star builder, we’re continually investing in our premium homes and evolving our house types to meet the needs of today’s homebuyers. That means we need commercially minded people who know that the detail matters, take ownership of their decisions and won’t settle for ‘good enough’. People who can balance cost, quality and value to help us deliver homes to exceptional standards.
