Quantity Surveyor

Your new company
Our client is a leading privately owned developer who builds houses and flats across the whole of the UK. Their Scottish business based in Edinburgh has a series of new projects commencing in 2024 and with that in mind they are looking to add an experienced Project QS to their team.


Your new role
As Project Quantity Surveyor, your initial role will be the managing procurement and preconstruction phase of a new project commencing in East Lothian in 2024. Based out of the office in Edinburgh, you will work with your commercial director to ensure this project is set up commercially for success. A key part of this will be procuring a competent and cost-effective set of subcontractors. Once the project commences, you will be hands-on to ensure its commercial success and ensure your commercial director is kept updated of commercial progress through accurate and efficient monthly reporting.


What you'll need to succeed
The ideal candidate would be a degree-qualified quantity surveyor with experience in the commercial delivery of residential projects in Scotland. You may be working for a large PLC housebuilder and are seeking to work in a more nimble and commercially focused work environment where you can have a real impact on the success of this project. This is a great opportunity for you to fully exercise your quantity surveying experience and skills and hone it to a point where your next promotion is close.
