Summary

Quantity Surveyor

East London / Essex

£50,000 - £65,000

We're currently working in partnership with a well-established, Local Authority owned organisation delivering property maintenance and capital works across social housing stock in the Southeast.

With under 200 employees, this is a stable yet commercially focused business that delivers kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, and external refurbishment programmes for a large residential portfolio.

The Role:

This position sits within the capital and planned works division, overseeing programmes including:

• Kitchen and bathroom replacements
• Roofing works
• External block refurbishments
• Wider capital improvement projects

You will be responsible for cost management, valuations, subcontractor management, reporting, and maintaining strong commercial controls across multiple workstreams.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who understands planned social housing projects and wants to take more ownership within a supportive team environment.

The Ideal Candidate

• 4-5 years' experience in a QS/AQS role
• Strong background in planned social housing works
• Experience with refurbishment programmes (internals and externals)
• Comfortable working within a smaller commercial team
• Degree qualified (desirable but not essential)
• Driving licence not essential

This role would suit an ambitious Assistant QS ready to take the next step, or an established QS seeking stability within a Local Authority backed organisation.

What's on Offer

• Salary: £50,000 - £65,000
• 26 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Flexible working policy
• East London / Essex based projects
• Long-term, secure pipeline of capital works
