I'm working with a long-standing, privately owned regional main contractor that's looking to appoint a Junior or Intermediate Quantity Surveyor into their small works and insurance projects team.

This is a hands-on, varied role supporting the commercial delivery of refurbishment and reinstatement projects-covering fire, flood, and structural damage repairs-as well as small-scale school and commercial refurbishments.

You'll be joining a small, close-knit team that values initiative, accountability, and the ability to see a project through from start to finish.

The Role:

Support the delivery of small works projects (typically £10k-£500k in value)

Assist with estimating/pricing from first principles – labour, plant, materials

Work with schedules of rates (SoRs), and negotiate with subcontractors and suppliers

Handle valuations, variations, and final accounts

Liaise with internal teams, loss adjusters, insurers, and clients

Office-based in Gloucester with occasional site visits

Requirements:

1-5 years' experience in a commercial or quantity surveying role (main contractor background preferred)

Able to price from basics (labour, plant, materials) and interpret schedules of rates

Based within one hour of the Gloucester office

Confident, proactive, and comfortable working within a smaller commercial team

Experience with insurance works or refurbishment projects is a strong advantage

What's on Offer:

Competitive salary (based on experience)

Company car or car allowance (negotiable)

Company pension and private healthcare after probation

Standard holiday entitlement + bank holidays

Stable, supportive working environment with real opportunity for long-term development
