Job Description

Quantity Surveyor / Junior Quantity Surveyor

Location: Peterborough (100% office-based)
Salary: £35,000 - £50,000 (DOE)

About the Company

A growing specialist contractor operating within passive fire protection, delivering works across fire stopping, fire doors and compartmentation on projects nationwide.

The business has a strong pipeline and operates with a close-knit, high-visibility team, offering far more responsibility than larger contractors.

The Opportunity

This role can suit either a Junior QS looking to step up or an established QS wanting more ownership and visibility.

You’ll join a small commercial function that is expected to grow into a 2–3 person team, giving you a clear pathway for progression.

You will be heavily involved in the day-to-day commercial running of projects; ideal for someone who wants to be close to the numbers and decision-making.

⚠️ This role is not suited to candidates from large (£80m+) tier contractors who are used to being a small part of a big structure. Here, you’ll be visible, trusted, and relied upon.

Key Responsibilities

  * 

    Daily valuation of works across multiple live projects

  * 

    Cost tracking, forecasting and reporting

  * 

    Managing and reviewing labour and timesheets

  * 

    Subcontractor procurement, payments and account management

  * 

    Supporting variations, applications and final accounts

  * 

    Working closely with operations to track site progress

  * 

    Maintaining accurate commercial records

What We’re Looking For

For Junior QS:

  * 

    1-3 years’ experience or relevant degree with placement

  * 

    Strong organisation and attention to detail

  * 

    Eagerness to learn and develop

For QS:

  * 

    Proven experience managing project commercials

  * 

    Confident with valuations, variations and subcontractors

  * 

    Able to operate independently within a small team

For both:

  * 

    Construction background (ideally subcontractor or specialist works)

  * 

    Strong Excel skills and commercial awareness

  * 

    Ambitious, proactive and comfortable in a fast-paced environment

Why Join?

  * 

    Clear progression as the commercial team expands

  * 

    High level of responsibility from day one

  * 

    Direct access to decision-makers

  * 

    Faster development than large corporate environments

  * 

    Stable, growing sector (fire compliance & safety)

Benefits

  * 

    Free gym membership

  * 

    Private healthcare

  * 

    Access to therapy / wellbeing support

  * 

    Supportive working environment with genuine work-life consideration

Working Environment

  * 

    100% office-based in Peterborough

  * 

    Collaborative, tight-knit team

  * 

    Real impact and visibility in your role
