Junior Quantity Surveyor

This opportunity is for a candidate wanting to go onto the 5-year degree course at Portsmouth Uni on a day release.

We are currently recruiting for a Junior Quantity Surveyor to join a private Quantity Surveying Consultancy based in Poole. Our client has been established for over 40 years and possesses a proven track record of success, having progressed from modest beginnings to multi-million-pound projects throughout the UK. They now require another junior member of staff to support the existing team.

The successful QS will be either a keen school leaver with a strong interest in Quantity Surveying and Construction looking to build a career as a Quantity Surveyor. If the successful candidate is a school leaver, then full financial support for a RICS accredited Higher Education course will be provided along with full RICS APC support to enable the successful QS to become Chartered.

The QS will work in a variety of fields, not just one sector, and so there will be a degree of travel required. Sectors vary from marine work with the RNLI to working with local commercial clients, such as Breweries. The role will initially involve training and shadowing and acting as a support member to the wider team before progressing to a full Surveying role.
