Quantity Surveyor Building Consultancy Kent 45,000 to 52,000 + Benefits I'm working with a well-regarded, independently run building and property consultancy based near to Tonbridge who are looking to recruit an experienced Quantity Surveyor into the team. This is a genuine opportunity to join a tight-knit, professional team where your workload is varied, your development is taken seriously, and you're not just a number. My client is a RICS-regulated consultancy that operates across a broad spread of building sectors including commercial, residential, healthcare, education, retail and leisure, community, and industrial. They deliver cost management, project management, and building surveying services to a diverse client base, and they have a strong reputation for quality of service and client relationships. Small enough to give you real responsibility early; established enough to offer the project variety and professional environment that will accelerate your career. The Role Joining as a Quantity Surveyor, you'll be embedded in live projects from day one, working across the full cost management lifecycle. Day to day, you can expect to be involved in: Preparation of cost plans, estimates, and feasibility studies Procurement support and tender documentation Contract administration and post-contract cost control Valuation and final account preparation Client and design team liaison across multiple concurrent projects What They're Looking For My client is keen to hear from QSs who have built their experience on the consultancy or client-side - someone who understands what it means to act as a trusted advisor rather than just a number-cruncher. Specifically, you'll need: 2-3 years PQS and working towards MRICS status A background in consultancy or client-side QS roles within the UK building sector Solid exposure across the pre- and post-contract stages Strong communication skills and confidence liaising directly with clients The commercial awareness and professional judgement to work with a degree of autonomy Why Consider This? Smaller consultancies often offer something the big nationals can't - genuine variety, real client exposure, and the chance to develop broad QS skills rather than being siloed into one stage of a project. The position also offers the support of an experienced and friendly team and a generous salary & package that includes: Starting salary of 45,000 to 52,000 Travel allowance of 5,000 25 days leave + bank holidays Private healthcare Pension contributions If you're a qualified QS with consultancy experience who feels like a small cog in a large machine, this could be the right move. If this sounds like the kind of role you've been looking for, get in touch for a confidential conversation. I'm happy to share more detail before you decide whether to put yourself forward. Services advertised by Gold Group are those of an Agency and/or an Employment Business. We will contact you within the next 14 days if you are selected for interview.
