The Vacancy
We are looking for a motivated and commercially minded Assistant Quantity Surveyor or Quantity Surveyor to join our Commercial team at Story Homes.
Working within our pre-contract function, you will play an important role in supporting the commercial planning and success of our developments. From preparing land viabilities through to budget stage, you will help ensure our projects are commercially robust from the outset. Identifying cost-saving opportunities throughout project progression, carefully assessing risks to inform appropriate budget provision and subcontractor procurement will be key duties for the successful candidate.
This is an excellent opportunity for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor looking to develop their experience and progress their career, or an established Quantity Surveyor seeking to build on their pre-contract and commercial expertise. We would also consider applications from Estimators with the right skillset who are looking to take the next step in their career and transition into a Quantity Surveying role.
About You
We are interested in hearing from candidates with a commercial background, from Assistant Quantity Surveyors or Estimators looking to develop their skills to Quantity Surveyors with experience in pre-contract, estimating or commercial management.
You will ideally have:
Experience in, or a good understanding of, the construction industry.
Good numerical, analytical and problem-solving skills.
Strong attention to detail and the ability to work accurately with cost information.
Experience with COINS, viability models and housebuilding would be advantageous, but are not essential. We welcome applications from candidates who work well in a team function and who can demonstrate the necessary skill, attitude and willingness to learn.
