Description
Excellent opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor (Fit Out Projects) to join a well-established construction company based in Swindon
The Company
They are a family-run Fit Out, Joinery, and M&E company with over 50 years of experience, delivering high-quality projects for prestigious clients such as Harrods, Qatar Airways, BA, and Wagamama. They specialise in UK airport fit outs, including Heathrow.
We’re seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join their friendly, fast-paced team. You'll be working on exciting full Fit Out projects, particularly in high-speed sectors like retail and airports, where adaptability and attention to detail are essential.
This is a varied and hands-on role where no two days are the same — perfect for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys seeing a project through from tender to final account. Based primarily at our Swindon HQ, with regular site visits and flexibility for some home working.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Estimating & Tendering
Review new enquiries, carry out take-offs, gather subcontractor quotes, and prepare competitive tender submissions.
Project Support & Cost Management
Collaborate with the Project Manager to ensure timely procurement of subcontractors and materials in line with tender allowances. Manage subcontractor valuations and issue payment or pay-less notices per contract terms. Attend client and consultant meetings, keeping stakeholders updated on financial and contractual matters. Prepare and submit monthly valuations, manage variations, and handle L&E or EOT claims as required.
Commercial Oversight
Track costs and progress throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring delivery within budget. Finalise accounts and support project close-out.
What We’re Looking For:
Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor in Fit Out or fast-track construction projects.
Experience of working in live airport environments is highly desirable.
Strong commercial acumen and excellent attention to detail.
Confident communicator, comfortable working with clients, consultants, and site teams.
Self-motivated, organised, and collaborative.
