Assistant Quantity Surveyor

Our client is an established and growing contractor managing a varied portfolio of live projects across prime London locations. Known for their close-knit, supportive team culture, they take a hands-on approach to project delivery and genuinely invest in their people. They are looking for a driven, commercially minded Assistant Quantity Surveyor who wants to step away from rigid corporate structures and gain true, end-to-end project exposure.

This is a brilliant opportunity to take real ownership of your own subcontract packages rather than just being a small cog in a massive wheel. Splitting your time between the office and active project sites, you will work hand-in-hand with the site delivery teams to keep projects on track and on budget.

Key Responsibilities:

* Work hand-in-hand with the site team to procure subcontract packages, including pulling together comprehensive tender documents.

* Reconcile and analyse incoming subcontractor quotations to ensure accurate commercial comparisons.

* Identify potential project risks and opportunities during the tender analysis stage.

* Prepare final subcontract documents and commercial agreements.

* Handle the remeasurement of subcontractor accounts and draft accurate, timely payment notices.

* Gain valuable client-facing exposure by assisting in the preparation of monthly external valuations.

Requirements, Skills & Experience:

* Prior hands-on experience working in a junior, trainee, or assistant commercial role within the construction sector.

* Basic understanding of procuring subcontract packages and measuring drawings/works on-site.

* Strong numerical skills with the ability to accurately analyse financial data, quotes, and spreadsheets.

* Confident communication skills to liaise effectively with site managers, subcontractors, and clients.

* Proficient in Microsoft Office (particularly Excel) and open to learning new commercial/construction software.

Benefits:

* Free parking

* 28 Days Holiday Inc. Bank Holidays

* Company Events

* Company Pension

* Supportive working environment

***Despite our best efforts it is not always possible to respond to every application individually due to the high volume of responses we receive on each vacancy. Only candidates who are short listed will be contacted for this particular role and if you have not heard from us within 7 days please assume that you have not been successful. However, we will keep your details on our database, and will contact you when other suitable positions become available
