Not just counting the numbers — setting the tone on every scheme.

Industry Context
Construction has been squeezed by new legislation, with fewer build roles opening up. Yet this contractor remains active and steady, thanks to strong turnover, repeat work from respected clients, and a pipeline of mixed-use schemes ready to go. For a QS who wants stability without stalling their career, this is the right moment.

The Bigger Picture
A Senior QS is relocating, creating the chance to step into a trusted role at the heart of a commercial team. With projects moving from wrap-up to new starts, this is about shaping delivery from day one and making your mark.

Decades of work have created loyal client relationships, which now underpin a reliable flow of projects. Inside, the culture is open, sociable, and progression-minded — people grow here because leaders back them and colleagues genuinely support each other.
