Ideally you will have:

  • Experience working with a main contractor
  • Strong background in design & build projects
  • Demonstrable experience managing multimillion-pound schemes
  • HNC, degree, or equivalent qualification in construction / Quantity Surveying
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (and ideally Project)
  • A full, valid UK driving licence
  • Experience resolving disputes and completing final accounts

What’s in It for You

  • Join a business that invests in your growth and rewards your achievements
  • Competitive salary and package
  • Generous holiday entitlement
  • Mentoring programmes and continuous professional development
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Annual bonus scheme
  • Recognition and long-service awards
  • Car scheme
  • Healthcare benefits

If you're an ambitious Quantity Surveyor ready to elevate your career with a leading national contractor, we’d love to hear from you. Contact Nicky Harris, RGB Recruitment, Exeter.
