Some projects build your CV. Others define it.
A £5m package here. A £10m package there.
Then there are the projects where you're trusted to take the commercial lead on a flagship development that will become one of the region's most significant schemes.
I'm working with one of East Anglia's leading contractors, a business turning over more than £1 billion annually and delivering some of the most recognisable projects across the region.
They're now looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor to take a leading role on a £45 million education scheme in Ipswich.
This is a rare opportunity to join a contractor with an exceptional reputation, a huge pipeline of secured work, and a commitment to promoting from within.
The Opportunity

You'll have the autonomy to run your area of the scheme while being supported by a highly experienced commercial and operational team.
More importantly, this isn't a "one project and done" opportunity.
The business has multiple live and upcoming schemes across East Anglia, meaning genuine long-term career security and future progression opportunities.
