Junior Quantity Surveyor – Build Your Career in Civil Engineering

Looking for your first step into Quantity Surveying, or already started your QS journey and want real project exposure?

We're working with a well-established civil engineering contractor delivering infrastructure and groundworks projects across the UK. They're looking for a Junior Quantity Surveyor who wants more than just a desk job, someone keen to get involved on live projects, learn from experienced commercial professionals, and develop into a fully-fledged Quantity Surveyor.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a recent graduate, placement student, HNC/HND holder or someone with early commercial experience in construction who's looking for genuine progression and long-term career development.

What you'll be doing

• Assisting with project valuations, cost reporting and financial management
• Supporting subcontractor procurement and account management
• Monitoring project costs and tracking variations
• Helping prepare applications for payment and final accounts
• Working closely with site teams, engineers and project managers
• Learning the commercial and contractual side of major civil engineering projects
• Contributing to monthly cost reports and commercial reviews

What we're looking for

• Degree, HNC, HND or equivalent in Quantity Surveying, Civil Engineering, Commercial Management or similar (or currently studying towards one)
• Strong numerical and analytical skills
• Good communication skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work well within a team environment
• Construction, civils or placement experience would be advantageous but isn't essential
• Knowledge of NEC or JCT contracts would be beneficial

Why apply?

This isn't just a junior role where you'll spend years making coffees and updating spreadsheets. You'll be working alongside an experienced team, gaining exposure to live infrastructure projects and receiving structured support towards professional development and chartership.

Package includes:

• Salary of £25,000 with vehicle/allowance options
• Professional membership support
• Ongoing training and development
• Clear career progression opportunities

If you're looking to build a long-term career in Quantity Surveying within the civil engineering sector, we'd love to hear from you.
