Quantity Surveyor | Uckfield / Haywards Heath Area | Permanent

We're working with a family-owned, 50+ year-old super-prime residential builder - financially solid, well-organised, and blissfully free of the organised chaos some contractors wear like a badge of honour.

They need a Quantity Surveyor for a circa £5m project, with a £4m project to follow.
Not to fix it.
Not to reinvent it.
Just to run it like a grown-up - because, remarkably, the company already does.

If you've worked in super-prime London or Tier 1/2/3, you'll recognise the usual QS soundtrack:
·Variations appearing with all the subtlety of a fire alarm.
·Cost plans clearly written on a day when optimism was running high.
·Subcontractors who treat 30 days as more of a loose vibe.
·Architects who believe a provisional sum is a suggestion box.

Now, the good news:
This company actually pays subcontractors on time.
Procurement isn't a treasure hunt.
Drawings line up more often than not.
And your cost reports won't require intuition, luck, and a séance.

We're after the Quantity Surveyor who:

·Knows when a variation is real and when a contractor is simply testing the boundaries of human imagination.
·Can turn site noise into a clean cost report without needing a stiff drink.
·Spots risk early enough that no one has to utter the phrase value engineering with a straight face.

You'll still need patience - it's construction, not a spa - but you won't spend your days untangling mystery numbers or explaining, again, why TBC is not a valid forecast.

If you're ready for a place where your expertise is trusted, your subcontractors get paid, and your cost plan doesn't implode by Tuesday…
this is probably it.

Always open to a discreet conversation with Quantity Surveyors.
