An exceptional opportunity for a mid-level QS (Construction) to shape the future of Property & Construction in Birmingham.
Birmingham's construction sector is in the middle of a genuine build boom, with residential, commercial and infrastructure schemes stacking up across the city and its edges.
This growing SME operates right in that mix, and needs a QS (Construction) who can keep pace with live sites while the business itself keeps expanding.
It's an established outfit with proper structure behind it, but still small enough that your work on a project actually gets noticed.
Here's what you'll be doing: Preparing cost plans, budgets and estimates across a live portfolio of Property & Construction projects Measuring quantities from drawings and specifications, and valuing completed works on site Managing the tender process, from issuing enquiries to evaluating contractor and subcontractor returns Negotiating and agreeing final accounts with clients, main contractors and suppliers Tracking variations, change orders and payment applications to keep every project on budget Attending site visits and progress meetings to report on cost status and flag risk early Here are the skills you'll need: A degree or equivalent qualification in Quantity Surveying, or working towards MRICS/RICS membership Solid experience as a QS (Construction) within a contractor, consultancy or developer environment Working knowledge of JCT and NEC contract forms Confident with cost reporting tools and Excel-based measurement Sharp commercial instincts, with the judgement to push back when a number doesn't add up Clear communication skills.
You'll be dealing with site teams one hour and clients the next Key perks and benefits: Salary of £38,000 to £48,500, plus bonus scheme Private medical insurance and pension contribution Hybrid working, splitting time between site, office and home Generous annual leave with flexible working built in Real professional development support, including progression toward chartered status Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?
Property & Construction rewards people who can combine numbers with nerve.
Birmingham's pipeline of regeneration and infrastructure work means a QS (Construction) here has years of project variety ahead, not a single scheme to coast through.
Get good at this and the ceiling is high: senior QS roles, commercial management, director-track positions, all within reach.
