Quantity Surveyor – Permanent Role

Location: Worsley
Salary: £40,000 – £60,000 (dependent on experience – open to higher for the right person)
Start Date: ASAP

Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking for a new permanent opportunity where you can truly make an impact from day one? We're seeking a highly motivated individual with a strong background in groundworks for house building projects – someone who knows the industry, understands the pace, and can hit the ground running without the need for hand-holding.

This is a key role within a growing team, based out of our Worsley office, with regular site visits to projects across the region. You’ll be joining a well-established business with a healthy pipeline of residential groundwork schemes covering drainage, roads, foundations, and 278 works.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Managing costs across multiple residential groundwork projects
  • Preparing and reviewing bills of quantities, take-offs, and tender packages
  • Carrying out valuations, cost forecasting, and subcontractor payments
  • Managing procurement and negotiating contracts with subcontractors and suppliers
  • Working closely with operational teams to ensure financial control from start to finish
  • Attending site meetings and liaising with clients, engineers, and project managers

What We’re Looking For:

  • Minimum 5 years’ experience in quantity surveying – ideally with a focus on groundworks, infrastructure, or residential civil engineering
  • Proven track record of running multiple projects independently, with limited supervision
  • Strong working knowledge of current NEC/JCT contracts and commercial procedures
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and reporting skills
  • Someone who is motivated, reliable, and takes initiative
  • Fully office-based role with regular site visits – no hybrid or remote working
  • Able to start quickly and integrate into the team immediately

What You’ll Get in Return:

  • Competitive salary between £40,000 and £60,000, with flexibility for highly experienced individuals
  • Long-term, stable role within a secure and growing company
  • Exposure to major residential groundwork schemes and a variety of projects
  • A solid and supportive team who value hard work and accountability
