• Experience managing subcontractors and procurement.

• The ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications.

• Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail.

• Excellent communication and negotiation skills.

• The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• A full UK driving licence, as regular site visits will be required.

A degree or relevant Quantity Surveying qualification would be advantageous, but practical industry experience and commercial ability are equally important.

• Salary of £35,000 - £50,000 depending on experience.

• Permanent, full-time position.

• Company pension.

• Use of a pool car for business-related travel and site visits.

• Free on-site parking.

• A varied workload across multiple sectors and project types.

• Supportive, close-knit working environment.

• Opportunities for professional development and career progression.

Our client is a well-established construction contractor with an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality construction, refurbishment, maintenance and reinstatement projects.
