Quantity Surveyor - Residential Groundworks

Location: Toddington

Quantity Surveyor – Residential Groundwork Subcontractor

£50,000 - £65,000 + Full Benefits

Northern Home Counties – Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and surrounding areas

About the Company:

This position will be based at our client's head office in the Northern Home Counties (near Toddington). The business currently turns over in excess of £150 million per annum, and has a reputation for a modern and quality-focused approach. They have live projects with a variety of the top house-builders in the UK and have a full pipeline secured for 2026 going into 2027.

Having met the directors of the business, I can confidently say this groundwork contractor is looking to stand out from their competition, harnessing innovation, a fresh brand image, and a focus on being the best at what they do. I have heard this not only from people who work at this company, but also from people who work for several of the main competitors!

About the Role:

I am looking for a Quantity Surveyor interested in joining a leading groundwork subcontractor. Your position in the business will report to the Managing Quantity Surveyor, and you will be responsible for overseeing either an individual or a variety of groundwork packages from award through to final account.

There is room for progression with this role, so if you’d like to be developed into a Senior QS role, that ability to climb will be available. I am therefore looking for career-focused individuals who want the opportunity to be part of a close-knit team, who are all working towards building a great business in this competitive sector.

So, if you are an experienced groundwork quantity surveyor and you want to join one of the absolute best businesses in this sector with lots of opportunities for people to develop, this could be the perfect option.

P.S. If this company doesn’t fit what you are looking for, please still contact me as I have at least 15 other quantity surveying positions available with RC frame and groundwork subcontractors based in and around London.

About the Requirements:

To be successful, individuals need to have worked for rival groundwork subcontractors in the UK as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor or Quantity Surveyor. Your hard work will be rewarded, and opportunity will be there, but previous experience in this sector is a must.

Due to the technical nature of the position, it is also crucial that all applicants are degree-qualified in quantity surveying. And due to the location of our client’s office, it is also advisable that applicants are based in or around the Bedfordshire or Hertfordshire area (or have the ability to be based near there for work). Travel will include projects all over the Northern Home Counties.

About the Benefits:

For this opportunity, I am targeting someone looking to earn between £50,000 and £65,000 per annum (depending on how much experience you have gained as a QS). This bracket has been provided by the client. In addition to this, our client is offering a comprehensive package including the usual benefits such as pension, car or travel allowance, and also a good bonus scheme.

But aside from the earning potential, this opportunity really does offer the right individual exciting career options with a fantastic organisation.

How to Apply:

I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector, and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discreet.

Alternatively, it would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway (including who the employer is), but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option.

My name is Andrew Jackson, and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 20 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction, and demolition.

So, what does that mean for you? It means you won’t be trusting your career to someone who doesn’t understand the market. I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK, and I can not only introduce you, but I can also give you up-to-date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward.

I’ve been doing this for a fair while now, and I’ve maintained a positive reputation doing what I do because I don’t tell people whatever it takes; I tell them the truth. My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then let you decide what feels right
