A dynamic civils and groundworks contractor is looking to add an Assistant Quantity Surveyor to their expanding commercial team. Operating across London, the South East, and nationally, they deliver enabling works, infrastructure, and RC frame projects ranging from half a million to £10 million in value.

You'll be involved from the outset on live projects, supporting senior surveyors in the full commercial process - from tender stage right through to final accounts. The role offers a blend of office and site-based work, giving you the chance to develop a practical understanding of construction and strengthen your commercial expertise.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Assisting with cost planning and material forecasting

  • Preparing and reviewing budgets, contracts, and bills of quantities

  • Monitoring design or scope changes and updating financial projections

  • Helping to procure subcontractors and negotiate agreements

  • Measuring and valuing completed works

  • Liaising with clients, project teams, and suppliers

  • Preparing progress and cost reports

What We're Looking For:

  • Degree (or working towards) in Quantity Surveying or Commercial Management

  • IT-literate with good MS Office skills

  • Organised, proactive, and eager to learn

  • Previous construction/site experience advantageous but not essential
