The Vacancy

We have an opportunity for a Project Quantity Surveyor to join our Planned team in the East Midlands area. Reporting into the Commercial Manager, you will be expected to take accountability for the development and implementation of all pre and post contract strategies, commercial functions, and contract reporting.

Working closely with one of our social housing partners on a planned elemental replacement framework project, we are looking for candidates with relevant experience.

Key Accountabilities include:

• Contribute to project commercial strategies and take ownership for own subcontract packages.
• Conduct site visits, take measurements of works required, and price up scoping documents with the schedule of rates as agreed with the client.
• Work with the commercial and operations teams to procure the works packages in a timely manner, including producing a procurement programme.
• Make good quality decisions and understand the importance of making profit and maximising opportunities.

Qualifications:

To be successful in this role, you will be a qualified and experienced surveyor with a good work ethic and a confident communicator, able to demonstrate the ability to form and develop relationships with all stakeholders. Experience within social housing or working with a main contractor is ideal, but not essential. Experience of working on planned elemental replacement frameworks is preferred.
