Project QS - join the projects, not the routine!
 
If you''re a Quantity Surveyor who enjoys the challenge of shaping how things are bought, built, and delivered — not just measuring the costs — then this could be your kind of role.

We’re working with a consultancy that supports some of the biggest project-led businesses in the region, and they’re looking for someone who can bring a sharp commercial eye to their team. The projects are varied, the work is fast-moving, and there’s a real sense of purpose in how things get done.

No red tape. No endless sign-offs. Just interesting work and the chance to have a real say in it.

Why this role might suit you

• You want to get closer to the action, supporting live projects and helping shape procurement decisions from the ground up
• You’re ready to move on from being just “another QS” in a big team
• You like the idea of working across energy, chemical, or civil engineering projects (without getting stuck in one)
• You want the flexibility of hybrid working, but the structure of being around people who know what they’re doing

What you’ll be doing

• Getting involved in strategic procurement for capital projects
• Supporting tendering, contract negotiations and supplier reviews
• Managing live project costs, variations, and payments
• Working alongside experienced consultants who value your input
• Helping clients navigate contract terms (NEC4, IChemE — or picking these up if new to you)

What you’ll need

• Around 3 years (or more) of post-qualification experience in a QS or commercial role
• A QS qualification (degree or equivalent) — we’re flexible on the route you’ve taken
• Experience with construction, civils, or engineering-led projects (housebuilding doesn’t quite fit this one)
• An interest in the details — particularly contract T&Cs and project cost control
• NEC4 or IChemE knowledge is a bonus, but not essential

What’s in it for you

• A role with variety — no two days or clients the same
• Genuine hybrid working (roughly 3 days on site or in-office)
• Annual bonus scheme
• Support for professional development (e.g. RICS or CIPS), even if you''re still on the journey
• A close-knit team that trusts you to get on with it
