Quantity Surveyor

The Position:

Are you a highly motivated, go-getter with an ability to cost, financially manage and de-risk projects in the construction and infrastructure sectors? Do you have a passion for delivering value and benefit through archaeology? Are you highly successful with numbers and estimating, highly organised, efficient and with a high work-rate? This position is for an experienced Quantity Surveyor who will assist with the continued expansion of the Company and our work pipeline. Although we are recruiting for those with experience of QS work in relation to archaeology, we also warmly invite applications from those from a broader construction/infrastructure background with the drive to get involved in a value-added part of the supply chain – namely archaeology. Experience of delivering to and administering NEC3 contracts is essential. The post is nominally based at Bakewell but could include some home-working based elsewhere in England with regular office and site visits as required.

You will ideally have experience of financial costing and management of a wide range of projects, preparing tenders and contract documents, planning staff allocations to jobs, negotiating with Clients and Sub-Contractors, invoicing/applications for payments, financial monitoring and reporting and risk reduction. You will be accountable to the Chief Operating Officer. A good knowledge of British Archaeology would be helpful.

We are a high performing company with a professional and friendly culture with many outstanding performers. We maintain a high commitment to staff development and training and look forward to supporting career development and developing people to be the best they can be. We have positions available for an immediate start.

In return, we offer an exciting range of employee benefits: 

• Competitive salary

• Bonus scheme linked to achieving Company performance targets

• Attractive Company pension contribution

• Life assurance cover

• Sector-leading commitment to training and career progression

• Member of the Company’s health cash plan which includes a wide range of health services and financial support

• Discounts and rewards on health, fitness and entertainment

• 28 days annual leave (inclusive of Bank Holidays)

• Additional annual leave awarded according to accrued length of service

• Accommodation provided for away work with subsistence

• Full personal protective equipment and Company branded workwear

• 100% of CIfA subscription fees and CSCS card fees
