Job Description

Quantity Surveyor | Residential Schemes | Colchester | Office-Based | Permanent
 
Join a growing contractor delivering residential developments across Essex and surrounding areas.
Projects range from single bespoke houses through to multi-unit schemes of up to 50 homes - new build residential with a hands-on commercial approach.
 
This is an office-based role with real breadth - combining quantity surveying and estimating responsibility within a close-knit team.
 
The Role
 • Commercial responsibility across residential developments (1–50 units)
 • Procurement and management of subcontractor packages
 • Variations, cost reporting and forecasting
 • Taking-off from drawings and preparing estimates
 • Use of estimating software to price and build tender submissions
 • Working closely with Directors on both live jobs and upcoming schemes
 
This isn’t a corporate, layered commercial department.
 It’s a role for someone who wants exposure, accountability and progression.
 
What they’re looking for
 • QS with residential experience (contractor or developer background considered)
 • Comfortable pricing works and carrying out take-offs
 • Strong commercial awareness across the full project lifecycle
 • Someone looking to progress and grow with the business
 • Practical, solutions-focused mindset
 
Package includes company vehicle, fuel card, holiday allowance and pension.
 
The Company
A privately run contractor delivering residential developments across Essex and the wider region.
 
They operate on schemes ranging from one-off bespoke houses through to developments of up to 50 units. It’s a hands-on business with direct director involvement and a steady pipeline of repeat work.
 
The commercial team is lean - which means exposure across both surveying and estimating, not siloed roles.
 
This would suit someone who prefers accessibility to decision-makers, genuine responsibility and the opportunity to grow with the business rather than sit in a large corporate structure.
