St Mary Cray, Kent
Office Based + Occasional Site Visits (London & South East)
Immediate Start/ Interviews 

The Company:
  
Our client is a growing, reputable main contractor with a strong track record across education and healthcare sectors, recently moving away from high-end residential projects.
  
With a current turnover of £7m and ambitions to grow to £10m, they're securing places on key frameworks such as the Academy of State and Bromley Council.
  
They deliver high-quality refurbishments and fit-outs, and with a healthy pipeline of public sector projects, they are now looking for a driven Quantity Surveyor to support continued expansion.

The Opportunity:
  
This is a standout opportunity for an ambitious and driven Quantity Surveyor—particularly someone with a background in fit-out, refurbishment, or public sector projects—who's ready to take the next step toward a Commercial Manager role. The company is actively investing in the progression of this position and sees it as a key part of their long-term growth, making it ideal for someone eager to take on more responsibility and leadership within a tight-knit commercial team.

You'll work closely with the Senior QS/Commercial Manager while also guiding and mentoring an Assistant QS, gaining hands-on experience that will support your transition into a more senior commercial role. This forward-thinking business values progression from within and is committed to helping the right candidate step up as they continue to expand.

The role is based full-time at the Orpington office, with regular site visits required. While there is currently no work-from-home option, there may be increased flexibility in the future as the company continues to evolve.

Your Role Will Include:

Supporting the Senior QS/Commercial Manager across multiple projects.
Running your own smaller-scale schemes.
Preparing and monitoring cost budgets.
Producing and reviewing valuations and payment notices.
Estimating costs including materials and subcontractors.
Occasional travel to live sites for measurement and progress updates.
Collaborating with site and project teams to manage variations and claims. Experience Required:

3-5 years' experience with a Main Contractor or Fit-Out/Refurb specialist.
Background in education, healthcare, or public sector frameworks desirable.
Degree or equivalent qualification in Quantity Surveying.
Highly motivated and commercially aware.
Able to thrive in a dynamic, growing business environment.
Ideally be local, or in commutable location.
