Some career decisions are obvious in hindsight. The ones where you look back and think that was the one that set everything in motion. This is one of those. A highly regarded, nationally recognised property consultancy with a reputation that speaks for itself across the UK's built environment is looking for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor/Project Manager to join their Liverpool team. This isn't a role where you'll be left to figure things out alone. it's a place where your development is taken seriously from day one, with full structured support toward your APC and a genuine pathway to chartership. The work itself: You'll be embedded within a team that works across a genuinely varied portfolio, commercial developments, housing schemes, mixed-use projects with clients and schemes that will challenge and stretch you in the best possible way. This is the kind of exposure that takes some years to accumulate, and you'll be getting it early. From cost planning and procurement through to post-contract duties and final account, you'll be working on live, meaningful projects rather than being tucked away on admin tasks. The people around you know their craft, and they're the sort of team that invests in the people coming through. Who they're looking for: You'll have a degree or master's in Quantity Surveying or Project Management, ideally RICS accredited and either some early commercial experience or a strong desire to get stuck in and build it quickly. You don't need to have everything figured out yet. What matters is that you're curious, keen to learn, and serious about a career in the profession. If you've done a placement, picked up some site exposure, or spent time around cost management or construction project management in any capacity, even better. But above all, they want someone with the right attitude and the ambition to go with it. Why this one stands out: Full APC support and mentorship from experienced chartered surveyors. A Liverpool base with a team that's genuinely collaborative. Work that spans the UK with clients who expect and deliver quality. A consultancy environment where the brand opens doors and the culture keeps people around. Quantity Surveyor / Employers Agent / Project Manager / RICS / Graduate

If you've done a placement, picked up some site exposure, or spent time around cost management or construction project management in any capacity, even better. But above all, they want someone with the right attitude and the ambition to go with it. Why this one stands out: Full APC support and mentorship from experienced chartered surveyors. A Liverpool base with a team that's genuinely collaborative. Work that spans the UK with clients who expect and deliver quality. A consultancy environment where the brand opens doors and the culture keeps people around. Quantity Surveyor / Employers Agent / Project Manager / RICS / Graduate
