Full training and ongoing support will be provided.

• Strong numerical ability and attention to detail
• Ambitious and motivated to build a long-term career as a Quantity Surveyor
• Good communication skills and willingness to learn
• Basic IT skills (Excel knowledge desirable)

This role would suit a Groundworker, Site Supervisor, or someone working within civils who wants to transition into an office-based commercial role.
