Senior Quantity Surveyor

New-Build Industrial Units

Market Harborough, Leicestershire

55,000 - 65,000 + Car Allowance + Package

The projects are typically steel frame industrial / commercial schemes, and the values can range from 5-15M. Work nationally, so there also needs to be the acceptance that the project may not always be close to home.

This is a 4-year-old business, they have a very flat & dynamic management structure with surveyors reporting directly into the Commercial Director as their line manager. For the right driven individual, who might feel held back at their current employer, this would be a massive opportunity to take the next step in their career, with the opportunity of a management position in the future.

It will be a predominately office-based role with the surveyor managing 2-3 projects at any given time. The individual will have a lot of autonomy in their day to day running and will be able to decide on site visits as and when suits. Due to the above arrangement, our preference is for QS's to be based within a commutable distance of our office in Market Harborough (Leicestershire). The candidate must be a highly motivated, positive, problem solver who has strong multi-tasking skills with the ability to 'dip in and out' of the detail, as required.
