Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking to take the next step in your career with a leading residential developer delivering high-quality new build housing schemes across the North West?

We are seeking a Senior Quantity Surveyor, although we would also welcome applications from ambitious Project Quantity Surveyors who have gained the right experience and are ready to progress into a more senior role.

We are keen to speak with both established Senior Quantity Surveyors and experienced Project Quantity Surveyors who possess:

Essential Experience

* Proven Quantity Surveying experience within the residential construction sector
* Experience delivering new build housing developments
* Background working for a national or regional housebuilder
* Strong knowledge of traditional and timber frame housing construction methods
* Experience managing multiple live developments simultaneously
* Strong subcontract procurement and account management skills
* Excellent commercial awareness and cost control ability
* Ability to work independently whilst contributing to a wider commercial team

Ideal Experience

* Experience with developments ranging from 50 to 500+ units
* Exposure to mixed-tenure housing schemes
* Working knowledge of JCT contracts
* Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline

Why Apply?

* Opportunity to join a highly successful and growing residential developer
* Excellent career progression opportunities
* Strong pipeline of secured work
* Supportive and collaborative working environment
* Competitive salary and benefits package

Salary and Package

* £60,000 - £75,000 DOE
* Car Allowance or Company Car
* Annual Bonus
* Pension Scheme
* Private Healthcare
* Holiday Allowance
* Additional Company Benefits

If you're a Senior Quantity Surveyor looking for your next challenge, or a Project Quantity Surveyor with strong new build housing experience ready to step up, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
