Not every Quantity Surveying role gives you the chance to get involved in nationally important infrastructure projects from day one. This one does. I'm working with a well-established contractor delivering civil engineering, water infrastructure and maintenance projects across the UK.

Due to continued growth, they're looking to bring in a Graduate or Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team in North Yorkshire. This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the beginning of their QS career who wants exposure to real projects, direct mentoring from experienced commercial professionals and a clear route for progression. You'll be joining a business where people tend to stay, develop and build long-term careers. The company has built an excellent reputation within the infrastructure sector and continues to secure a strong pipeline of work across the region and beyond. What you'll be doing Assisting with project cost management from inception through to final account Supporting the preparation of applications, valuations and commercial reporting Helping manage subcontractor packages and payments Assisting with variations, compensation events and change management Supporting monthly CVRs and cost forecasting Working closely with operational teams on live infrastructure projects Developing your understanding of NEC contracts and commercial management What they're looking for Quantity Surveying degree or HNC/HND qualification Graduate level or up to 3 years' industry experience Interest in infrastructure, utilities, civil engineering or water projects Strong communication skills and willingness to learn Good commercial awareness and attention to detail Full UK driving licence preferred Why this role? There are plenty of QS opportunities out there. Very few offer the combination of: Exposure to major infrastructure and utility projects Supportive mentoring from experienced commercial leaders Long-term career progression within a growing business Opportunity to work across a diverse range of civil engineering projects Stability, investment and a healthy order book If you're looking for a role where you'll genuinely develop your commercial skills rather than spend your first two years updating spreadsheets, this is worth a conversation. Calibre Search promote equality in the workplace and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified candidates regardless of their sex, race, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age. We act as both an employment agency and employment business.
