    Experience: Proven track record as a Quantity Surveyor (ideally within high-end residential or bespoke construction).

  * 

    Tech-Savvy: A genuine interest in modern systems and a willingness to integrate AI into daily commercial operations.

  * 

    Local Knowledge: Based within commutable distance of Oxford and comfortable visiting high-end sites across the Cotswolds.

Why Apply?

  * 

    Lead the Team: You are the foundation of the future commercial department.
