Hereford, Herefordshire
Quantity Surveyor / Estimator Based in Hereford Full-Time 55,000 - 65,000 DOE + Benefits This isn't a corporate number-crunching role buried in a procurement chain. This is a rare chance to be the commercial backbone of a highly regarded regional contractor, working directly alongside senior leadership on a genuinely varied portfolio of projects across Herefordshire and the wider counties. Our client has been delivering quality construction across the region for decades. They've built their reputation the right way, through skilled craftsmanship, long-standing client relationships, and a tight-knit team that takes real pride in what they do. Projects range from sensitive listed building restorations to bespoke high-end new builds, school upgrades, and commercial fitouts. No two months look the same. Following internal progression, they're now looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor / Estimator to take ownership of the commercial function, from first enquiry right through to final account.
