Your new company
Our client is a well-established specialist sub-contractor with a strong reputation in delivering high-quality building envelope and façade solutions across the UK. With decades of expertise in restoration, cladding, and external works, they partner with leading main contractors and developers on both heritage projects and modern large-scale developments. Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of projects in the North West, they are now seeking a Quantity Surveyor to join their Manchester-based team.
Your new role
Our client is seeking an ambitious and commercially minded Quantity Surveyor with a sub-contractor background. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing costs, contracts, and financial performance on a range of projects, with the opportunity to gain exposure to high-profile schemes. While roofing and cladding experience would be highly desirable, it is not essential - what matters most is strong commercial acumen and proven experience working for a sub-contractor within the construction sector.
Responsibilities will include:
Preparing, managing, and evaluating project costings from tender through to final account
Managing sub-contractor accounts, variations, and payments
Preparing interim valuations and cost reports for senior management and clients
Monitoring project budgets, forecasts, and profitability
Supporting the preparation and negotiation of claims and variations
Liaising closely with site teams to ensure accurate reporting of progress and costs
Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, contractors, and supply chain partners
Ensuring all commercial processes are adhered to in line with company standards and policies
What you will need to succeed:
Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor working for a specialist sub-contractor within construction
Knowledge of JCT and/or NEC contracts
Strong financial and contractual awareness
Excellent communication and negotiation skills
The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
Roofing and cladding sector experience is desirable, but not essential
Relevant qualifications (HNC/HND/Degree in Quantity Surveying or similar)
What you get in return:
Competitive salary of £45,000 - £55,000 (DOE) plus package
Opportunity to work with a respected and growing specialist sub-contractor with a varied and exciting portfolio of projects
Supportive team environment with genuine scope for professional development and career progression
Exposure to both heritage restoration and modern façade projects, offering variety and technical challenge
Stability and security within a business that has been operating successfully in the UK market for over 50 years
