Quantity Surveyor - Demolition, Soft Strip & Enabling Works
London & the South East | £70,000-£85,000 + car allowance | Permanent
 
A busy, fast-growing specialist demolition and enabling works contractor is looking for a Quantity Surveyor to take the lead commercially and help build the business.
 
This isn't a seat in a commercial team of twenty. You'll price the work that builds the order book, run it through to final account, and have a real say in how the business grows.
 
The company

• Specialist demolition, soft strip and enabling works contractor
• Works for established main contractors across London and the South East
• A full order book and serious plans for growth
• A lean set-up where your work is seen and valued, with no layers of management between you and the decisions

The role
Pre-contract:

• Price tenders from first enquiry to submission, including take-offs, rate build-ups and subcontractor enquiries
• Work with the directors on which work to go after and how to price it to win
• Build the order book that drives the business's growth

Post-contract:

• Monthly valuations and applications to main contractors
• CVRs, cost reporting and forecasting
• Raise, price and agree variations
• Manage subcontractor accounts, from orders and payments through to final accounts
• Keep control of the costs that make or break demolition jobs: waste and disposal, plant, labour, asbestos removal and temporary works
• Agree final accounts and make sure every pound of entitlement is recovered

The bigger picture:

• Be a key commercial voice in the business, with real influence on systems, processes and future hires
• The chance to grow with the company as it scales

You must have

• QS experience with a demolition, soft strip or enabling works contractor
• The ability to price work and run it commercially
• The right to work in the UK

Ideally you'll also have

• Experience under JCT and/or NEC subcontracts
• A full UK driving licence, as you'll be covering sites across London and the South East
• The confidence to deal directly with main contractor commercial teams

What's on offer

• £70,000-£85,000 depending on experience
• Car allowance
• A senior commercial role in a business that's on the way up, with the progression that comes with it
