I’m working directly with a growing main contractor based in near Ebbsfleet who are looking to bring in a Quantity Surveyor due to continued project wins and a steadily expanding pipeline.
This is a business that’s grown quickly over the last 7–8 years to around £25m turnover, but importantly, they’re not trying to grow recklessly. The growth is now more controlled and stable, with a strong order book already in place.
The business was set up by people who came from larger contractor environments and they’re open to candidates from both Tier 1 and Tier 2 backgrounds - but equally, this could suit someone from a smaller contractor who wants better exposure and support.
The Role
Working within an established commercial team currently made up of 3 QSs
• Looking after retail accounts and fast-track refurbishment projects
• Typical project values up to £3m
• Typical programme lengths around 8 weeks
• Procurement, subcontractor management, valuations, variations & final accounts
• Weekly commercial sit-downs every Monday
• Monthly CVR / cost-value reconciliation meetings
• Mix of office-based working and site visits
This isn’t a role where you’ll be left on an island, but equally they want someone who can grow into the position and take ownership over time.
What they’re looking for
Quantity Surveyor with contractor experience
• Open on background - Tier 1, Tier 2 or smaller contractor environments considered
• Someone in that middle-ground level - able to learn but also contribute straight away
• Strong personality fit is important
• Commercially aware, organised and willing to get stuck in
• Someone with energy, character and a bit about them personally
The Business
Main contractor delivering refurbishment and fit-out projects
• Approx. £25m turnover
• Northfleet office location - close to Ebbsfleet station
• Office-based culture with support from senior leadership
• Car allowance included
Good opportunity for someone wanting proper exposure, support from experienced people, and the chance to grow with a business that’s clearly moving in the right direction.
Happy to run through the business, team and live work in more detail. Also open to referrals (fees paid)
