Job Description:

Overview

My client is a leading regional contractor with established offices across South Wales and the South West of England.

Following several significant tender wins and the securing of a long-term framework, they are looking to strengthen their expanding commercial team with the appointment of an Assistant Quantity Surveyor.

The business delivers a diverse range of projects, typically valued between £5m and £30m, across sectors including commercial, healthcare, education, cladding remediation and fire protection.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Senior Quantity Surveyors and wider commercial team, gaining valuable experience across the full commercial lifecycle of projects.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with the commercial management of projects from pre-construction through to completion.
• Supporting the preparation of cost reports, forecasts and financial reporting.
• Assisting with subcontract procurement and package management.
• Preparing valuations, payment applications and variations.
• Assisting with the preparation and agreement of final accounts.
• Monitoring project costs and identifying potential commercial risks.
• Supporting the commercial team with contract administration and cost control.
• Building effective relationships with clients, subcontractors and suppliers.
• Developing knowledge of construction contracts, particularly JCT Design & Build.

The successful candidate will ideally have some previous experience within a main contractor environment and be looking to take the next step in their commercial career.

The role would suit an Assistant Quantity Surveyor who is either studying towards a relevant qualification or looking to continue their professional development.

In return, my client offers an excellent opportunity to join one of the region’s most respected contractors during a period of substantial growth. You will benefit from an excellent salary, hybrid working, structured career development, exposure to major projects and genuine opportunities for progression.
