Are you an ambitious Assistant Quantity Surveyor with around a year of experience, ready to take your next step in a unique and highly specialised sector?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a market-leading contractor renowned for delivering complex restoration and masonry packages across London and the South East. They’re now looking to bring in an Assistant QS to support their commercial team on some of the region’s most iconic and architecturally significant projects.
The Role:
You’ll be joining a growing restoration division, supporting the commercial delivery of traditional stonework and façade packages ranging from £100k to £4m. Working closely with two Senior Quantity Surveyors, you’ll gain hands-on experience across live sites — with exposure to heritage construction techniques, Tier 1 contractor interfaces, and complex project delivery.
Typical responsibilities will include:
- Assisting with take-offs, measurements and BOQ preparation
- Supporting cost plans, tender submissions and commercial reports
- Managing variations and assisting with interim valuations
- Liaising with subcontractors and verifying payment applications
- Attending site meetings and contributing to stakeholder progress updates
- Helping to close final accounts and maintain contractual compliance
- Around 1 year of experience in a Graduate QS, Assistant QS or Commercial Assistant role
- Degree or HNC-qualified (or working towards) in Quantity Surveying or similar
- Strong with numbers, commercially aware, and keen to learn the ropes in specialist restoration
- A confident communicator with a collaborative approach and long-term career mindset
- Ideally someone with some exposure to construction or refurbishment projects, though full training will be provided
