Quantity Surveyor – New Build Project (Bath)
Location: Bath, UK
Recruiting for: Avocet Recruitment Ltd on behalf of a national construction company

Looking to take your QS career to the next level?
We’re working with a leading national construction company to find an experienced Quantity Surveyor for an exciting new build project in Bath.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a company known for delivering high-quality construction projects across the UK—not a developer, but a principal contractor with a strong reputation for excellence.

🔍 Your role will include:

  • Managing project costs from start to finish – budgeting, forecasting, and reporting

  • Overseeing contracts and ensuring everything runs smoothly and compliantly

  • Handling the tender process and negotiating with suppliers

  • Identifying value engineering opportunities without compromising on quality

  • Delivering accurate financial reports to senior leadership

  • Working with subcontractors, including overseeing variations and payments

  • Proactively identifying and mitigating project risks

  • Building great relationships with clients and project stakeholders

What we’re looking for:

  • A degree or HND in Quantity Surveying (or a closely related field)

  • Solid experience in quantity surveying—preferably on new build construction projects

  • Excellent analytical, negotiation, and communication skills

  • Proficiency in industry-standard software

  • Membership of a professional body (e.g. RICS) is a plus

  • A collaborative, team-oriented approach

Apply Today!
If you're a driven Quantity Surveyor ready to make an impact on a major project in Bath, we’d love to hear from you.
