Quantity Surveyor

Shape the Commercial Success of Major Housing, NHS & MOD Projects

Location: Norwich
Salary: Competitive + Benefits

Are you a commercially minded Quantity Surveyor who enjoys making a genuine impact once a project has been won?

We're looking for someone who can take ownership of the commercial performance of a diverse portfolio of window and door replacement projects, working with some of the UK's most recognised Housing Associations, NHS Trusts and MOD contracts.

Unlike many QS roles, you won't be spending your time preparing tenders. We have a dedicated pricing team that does that. Instead, you'll focus on what you do best – managing the commercials, protecting project margins, building strong client relationships and helping ensure every project is delivered successfully and profitably.

This is an opportunity to join a growing business where your expertise will be valued, your opinion listened to, and your contribution directly linked to the success of the business.

What You'll Be Doing

No two days will be the same, but you'll typically be:

• Taking ownership of the commercial performance of multiple projects from award through to final account.
• Working closely with Contracts Managers and operational teams to keep projects on track financially.
• Preparing and managing applications for payment and client valuations.
• Pricing and negotiating variations and additional works.
• Monitoring project costs, forecasts and profitability.
• Managing subcontractor accounts and payment processes.
• Identifying commercial risks and opportunities before they become problems.
• Producing accurate financial reporting and forecasts for senior management.
• Building positive relationships with clients, suppliers and stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

We're less concerned about whether you've worked exclusively in windows and doors, and more interested in finding someone with solid commercial experience and a proactive approach.

You'll likely have:

• Experience as a Quantity Surveyor within construction, refurbishment, maintenance or a related sector.
• A strong understanding of cost control, valuations, variations and final accounts.
• Experience working with JCT and/or NEC contracts.
• Excellent commercial awareness and negotiation skills.
• The confidence to challenge, influence and build relationships across all levels.
• A desire to be part of a collaborative team where everyone pulls in the same direction.

It Would Be Great If You Also Have

• Experience within social housing, planned maintenance or refurbishment.
• Knowledge of glazing, windows, doors, façade or building envelope projects.
• Experience working with Housing Associations, NHS, MOD or other public-sector clients.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive salary
• Pension – with up to 4 x salary & income protection, with the option to potentially save on tax and National Insurance via our salary sacrifice arrangement
• 31 days holiday (including Bank Holidays and increasing to 33 days with service within 2 years), plus an additional paid day for your birthday
• Comprehensive health & well-being benefits including access to in-house occupational health & well-being resources, discounted gym memberships, employee assistance programme, & mental health resources, and digital GP services
• Heavily discounted employee purchase scheme on all Company products
• Salary sacrifice benefits – enjoy perks such as pension, cycle to work, electric car purchase, and additional annual leave, while potentially reducing your tax and NI contributions
• Access to extensive financial well-being resources including flexible pay and competitive savings & borrowing products
