About the Role

Due to an increased workload, a leading Main Contractor in Lancashire is seeking a versatile and driven Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team. This role offers the chance to work across multiple projects simultaneously, rather than being tied to one client, making it a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a varied and fast-paced environment.

  • Prepare and manage tender submissions (desirable).

     

  • Produce accurate and timely month-end CVRs and lifecycle forecasts.

     

  • Handle client invoicing, subcontractor procurement, and payment processes.

     

  • Identify and manage variations and change control.

     

  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with Project Managers, Site Managers, and the Senior Leadership Team.

     

  • Ensure all commercial activities align with contractual and company requirements.

     

Person Specification

  • Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within a main contractor environment.

     

  • Strong commercial and contractual knowledge, with experience across multiple sectors.

     

  • Ability to manage several live projects simultaneously.

     

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, confident in client-facing situations.

     

  • Strong attention to detail and highly organised.

     

What's on Offer

  • Salary: Up to £60,000 (inclusive of Car Allowance).

     

  • Opportunity to work on varied projects valued at £500K+.

     

  • Direct reporting line to the Head of Commercial.

     

  • Exposure to a wide client base across education, retail, and hospitality.

     

  • Chance to contribute to both live projects and tendering activities.
