Quantity Surveyor

The Role

We’re looking for a driven and organised Quantity Surveyor to work on our scheme Royal Eden Docks, based in the heart of the Docklands, neighbours with the famous London Excel Centre and a brief Elizabeth line ride into the City. We’re looking for someone to integrate with our established commercial team and deliver the remaining 200 homes on this award-winning project.

You’ll have experience in managing multiple construction packages concurrently on high rise, RC frame residential projects and will have been responsible previously for managing packages like balconies, windows, brickwork, carpentry (and others). This is a role where you’ll be seeing out the all-important end of the scheme, so you’ll have experience settling final accounts with multiple subcontractors and closing out a project.

Ours is a high-performance culture. High performance in this role is having great attention to detail to deliver the rest of a very successful project; you will have the proactiveness and drive to spin various plates and deliver at a key time for this development. Interpersonal skills are key, building real, trusting relationships with internal stakeholders and subcontractors.

This is a culture where you’ll be giving and getting feedback from day one, because we think it’s the fastest way to learn and to build trust. We want to be challenged by you, too – we hate unnecessary hierarchy and “my way or the highway” has no place here. So, if you’re interested in working on a new flagship scheme apply now!

What we do: We’ve worked in partnership for 31 years to create outstanding places in London. We’re growing, with our construction turnover doubling, and with a pipeline of new projects where we’re raring to get started and make a difference.

Why we’re here: We’re here to pursue better, differently.

Better: One of The Sunday Times’ “100 Best Small Companies to Work For” for over a decade, winner of multiple Pride In The Job and WhatHouse awards for our people and the quality of our homes, and proud to have the nation’s best site in our ranks (winning the highest possible marks across the Considerate Constructors Scheme’s five areas – the first site ever to do so in 22 years of the CCS).

Differently: Our culture is unusual. Different means more transparent with information. More direct with feedback that helps us all grow. More rigorous about setting goals, then giving more freedom to go and achieve them. It’s definitely not for everyone. We don’t hire know-it-alls, we hire “learn-it-alls”. As our CEO, Killian, says: “We work hard to find people who thrive on context and responsibility, rather than rules and procedures. We then work like owner managers, not a leader and a load of helpers.”

Benefits:

Private medical insurance for you and your family through Vitality (including discounts on spa breaks, cinema tickets and your food shopping, free Starbucks, 50% off Virgin Active Membership and more).

Income Protection Insurance to help you cope financially if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, Life Assurance equivalent to four times your salary, your annual leave & Bank Holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity leave and workplace nursery salary sacrifice, allowing you to save tax and NI on monthly nursery fees.

We think the best benefit of being here is the learning culture and the ability to make a real difference – we dislike hierarchy and politics, and “not my job” isn’t in our vernacular. Which means if you really care about raising the bar and really want to feel connected to the end product, as opposed to like a cog in a big machine, this could be the place for you to grow your career.
