Quantity Surveyor

South London / London & South East | £80,000 - £90,000 + Benefits + Employee Ownership Scheme

We're working with a growing and highly regarded specialist construction and building services business that delivers a diverse range of refurbishment, fit-out, upgrade and new-build projects across London and the South East. The business operates within technically complex environments, combining construction delivery with modern building technology, M&E services and intelligent building systems.

Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of secured work, they are looking to appoint an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially astute Quantity Surveyor who enjoys working across multiple projects rather than being tied to a single development. Projects range from commercial fit-outs and refurbishment schemes through to larger new-build developments, often within technically complex M&E and building services environments.

You will support projects from pre-construction through to final account, working closely with project teams, subcontractors and senior stakeholders to ensure commercial performance and successful project delivery.

• £80,000 - £90,000 basic salary
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Opportunity to join a growing and successful business
