Step into this Quantity Surveyor role and build something that matters in Property & Construction.
Construction output across Yorkshire has held steady even as other sectors wobble, and Leeds sits right at the centre of that activity. This is an established name in Property & Construction, the kind of employer with a pipeline of large-scale developments rather than one job at a time. They need a Quantity Surveyor who can keep costs under control while the projects around them get bigger and more complex.
What you'll be doing:
- Preparing cost estimates, budgets and tender documents for live construction projects
- Measuring quantities from drawings and specifications, then pricing the work accurately
- Managing the valuation and payment process with subcontractors and suppliers
- Reviewing variations and change orders, and negotiating final accounts
- Producing monthly cost reports and flagging risks to project managers before they become problems
- Liaising with clients, architects and site teams to keep budgets aligned with the build programme
Here are the skills you'll need:
- A degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management or a related field (or equivalent industry experience)
- Solid experience in a Quantity Surveyor role, ideally within a contractor or consultancy environment
- Working knowledge of NEC or JCT contracts
- Confident with cost management software and Excel at an intermediate to advanced level
- Strong negotiation skills. You'll be dealing with subcontractors who push back, and you need to hold your ground calmly
- An eye for detail that doesn't slow you down. Speed and accuracy both matter here
Key perks and benefits:
- £35,000 to £51,500 depending on experience
- Hybrid working, with time split between the Leeds office and site visits
- Private medical and dental insurance
- Enhanced pension scheme and performance-based bonuses
- A comprehensive benefits package built for people who want to stay long term
Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?
Leeds has become one of the strongest regional markets for construction outside London, with commercial, residential and infrastructure work all competing for skilled people. A Quantity Surveyor with a few years under their belt has genuine choice here: contractor side, consultancy side, or client side, each with a different career shape. Property & Construction rewards people who can combine numbers with judgement, and that combination only gets more valuable as you progress.
