Junior Quantity Surveyor
Junior Quantity Surveyor – Cladding & Facades
North West
£28,000 – £40,000 per annum
We’re working with a specialist façade and cladding contractor based in the North who are looking to bring in a Junior Quantity Surveyor to support their commercial team.
The company delivers roofing and façade packages across both commercial and residential projects, working with a range of systems including composite panels and rainscreen cladding. They’re still a relatively young business but growing steadily, with a focus on delivering quality work and keeping projects running smoothly.
This role is ideal if you’re early in your QS career and want exposure to real projects rather than being stuck doing admin or shadowing indefinitely.
The role
You’ll be working alongside a more experienced QS or Contracts Manager, supporting the commercial side of live façade projects while building up your own responsibilities over time.
Day-to-day, that could include:
assisting with cost tracking across multiple projects
helping prepare valuations and variations
supporting with subcontractor packages and procurement
working with site teams to gather project information
helping maintain budgets and cost reports
learning how projects are managed commercially from start to finish
There will be a mix of office and site exposure, so you’ll get a proper understanding of how jobs run, not just paperwork.
What they’re looking for
They’re open to someone fairly early in their career, as long as you’ve got the right attitude and some exposure to construction.
Ideally, you’ll have:
experience in a Junior QS or Assistant QS role, or a placement/degree background in Quantity Surveying
some exposure to construction projects, ideally cladding, roofing or envelope works
a willingness to learn and get involved
good organisation and attention to detail
confidence to speak to site teams and ask questions
You don’t need to have everything nailed down technically. The key is being proactive and wanting to develop.
Why this role
Because the company is relatively small, you won’t be hidden away doing one small part of the process.
You’ll be:
working closely with the people delivering projects
getting hands-on exposure much earlier than you would in a larger company
given the chance to take on more responsibility as you grow
It’s a good environment to learn how façade packages actually work, not just the theory behind them.
If you’re looking to build a long-term career in quantity surveying and want to get stuck into real projects early on, this is a solid opportunity to do it.
