Quantity Surveying
Our quantity surveyors are exposed to a wide variety of different activities and opportunities that are carried out both on site and in the office.
Your ‘to do’ list will definitely vary depending on the different areas of the business you join. Some of the work you might expect to get involved with depending on the contract you’re involved with might include taking on-site measurements, managing subcontractor accounts, monthly valuations, invoicing, cost value reconciliations, forecasting, tendering, compensation events, final accounts, to name a few.
Joining us as a quantity surveyor will mean you’re joining a team that strives to ensure the financial success of projects – the team are extremely valuable to the business. You’ll work on a variety of contracts including cost plus, maintenance and cost reimbursable, all of which will be administered whilst working closely with the operational teams to ensure that all costs and value are captured correctly, and maximum profit are gained. You can expect to blend your time between office, site and home as we have a hybrid working policy to ensure that work-life balance is achieved.
