As the business continues to secure quality projects, they are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor who can lead from the front commercially and support the development of the wider commercial team.

This is a key commercial position offering genuine responsibility, variety and visibility. You will act as project lead on larger schemes, taking projects from procurement through to final account, while working closely with operational teams, clients, consultants and supply chain partners.
