Assistant Quantity Surveyor

Assistant Quantity Surveyor
Up to £55,000 + Package
Farringdon / West London

Overview
A leading London main contractor is looking for an ambitious Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join its commercial team, based from its Farringdon office and working on a prestigious redevelopment project in West London.

This is a rare opportunity to work on a genuinely unique, high-profile scheme involving the transformation and refurbishment of an iconic London property for a private client. The project combines complex refurbishment, high-specification interiors and specialist spaces, making it an excellent opportunity for an Assistant QS looking to gain strong project exposure and progress towards Quantity Surveyor level.

The Opportunity
Working closely with an experienced Senior QS and wider project team, you'll support the commercial management of the scheme from procurement through construction and final account.

You'll gain exposure across the full commercial process, including:

• Subcontractor procurement and tender analysis
• Preparing and issuing subcontract packages
• Cost reporting and budget management
• Valuations, variations and change control
• Subcontractor payments and account management
• Measurement and take-offs
• Supporting project forecasting
• Assisting with final accounts
• Working closely with the site and project management teams
• Liaising with subcontractors, consultants and the wider client team

You'll be based from the contractor's Farringdon office, with regular involvement on the West London project.

The position would suit someone who already has solid Assistant QS experience and now wants exposure to a technically interesting, high-profile London scheme with greater responsibility.

The Company
The business is an established and growing London main contractor with a strong reputation for delivering complex construction, refurbishment and fit out projects.

They work across a range of high-profile sectors and have developed a reputation for taking on technically demanding schemes where quality, programme and attention to detail are critical.

The company has continued to grow while maintaining a relatively close-knit structure, giving ambitious individuals the opportunity to work directly with experienced commercial and operational leaders rather than becoming lost within a large corporate environment.

With a strong pipeline of London projects, there is genuine scope for progression into a standalone Quantity Surveyor position.

• Main contractor experience preferred
• Refurbishment / fit out experience would be advantageous

• Strong Excel and general IT skills
• Commercially aware and comfortable working with numbers
• Good communication and organisational skills
• Ambitious and keen to progress towards Quantity Surveyor level
• Degree or relevant qualification in Quantity Surveying / Commercial Management preferred

• Salary up to £55,000 DOE
• Competitive package
• Involvement in a prestigious and unusual West London redevelopment
• Farringdon-based contractor
• Exposure to a complex, high-specification project
• Experienced commercial team to learn from
