Are you an experienced Estimator or Quantity Surveyor looking to future proof your career? Do you want to be at the forefront of the biggest technological shift in the construction industry?
We are representing a highly respected and innovative residential contractor based in Oxford. While they pride themselves on traditional building excellence, they are aggressively looking to the future, specifically, the integration of Artificial Intelligence within their commercial and construction models.
This is a rare opportunity to bridge the gap between core commercial construction and cutting edge construction technology.
The AI Vision
Our client has identified AI as a major growth engine for their business. They are heavily investing in integrating AI into their workflows, from automated take-offs and predictive cost modeling to smart supply chain management.

Managing project costs, valuations, and variations from inception to final accounts.
*
Collaborating with the commercial team to pilot and implement AI-driven estimating and surveying software.
*
Analysing historical project data to help "train" or fine tune predictive AI models for future developments.
*
Liaising with sub-contractors, suppliers, and site teams to ensure profitable and timely project delivery.

Experience: Proven background as an Estimator or Quantity Surveyor within the UK construction industry (residential developer or main contractor experience is highly preferred).
*
Core Skills: Strong commercial acumen, excellent numeracy, and a solid grasp of construction methods, contracts, and materials.
*
The X-Factor: A tech savvy mindset. You are curious about Artificial Intelligence, eager to learn, and excited by the idea of ditching outdated spreadsheets for next generation automated workflows.
*
Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills to negotiate with suppliers and present commercial data to directors.
