About the Role
Are you a commercially-minded Assistant Quantity Surveyor looking for a dynamic role that offers genuine professional growth? We are seeking a versatile, ambitious professional to join our team on a Temp to Perm basis, working alongside a prestigious Tier 1 client. This is a fast-paced, mobile position covering high-value projects (£2M-£12M) across our key South East bases, including London, Thorney Island, and Brize Norton. Because you won't be fixed to just one spot, we need someone with the drive to succeed and an open mindset to adapt seamlessly to changing site environments.
Mentorship Day-to-Day Training

You will be paired with an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor (SQS), shadowing them closely and learning the ropes every step of the way. All necessary training, guidance, and day-to-day teaching will be fully provided, making this the ultimate environment to level up your commercial skills.
The Packages You Will Learn to Manage:
- Structural works
- Mechanical Electrical (M E)
- Fire Stopping
- Doors
- Paint Decorating
What We Are Looking For
We need a self-starter with a strong commercial background who understands the fundamentals of main contracting and is eager to learn how these different packages interlink.
Essential Criteria:
- Attitude Approach: High level of drive and an open mindset - ready to listen, learn, adapt, and grab growth opportunities.
- Flexibility Mobility: Must hold a full UK driving license and have access to your own car for daily travel between sites across the South East region.
- Main Contracting Experience: A proven track record working with a main contractor.
- Project Scope: Experience working on projects of a similar scale (£2M - £12M value).
Desirable Criteria:
- MOD Experience: Prior experience working on Ministry of Defence (MOD) sites or defense infrastructure frameworks is highly preferable.
What's on Offer - A Place for Growth
- Direct Mentorship: Daily 1-on-1 shadowing and teaching from an established SQS.
- Career Progression: A proven environment for professional development, working directly with a Tier 1 client.
- Stability: The opportunity to secure a permanent position with a reputable main contractor following a successful initial temporary period.
Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK.
