Assistant Quantity Surveyor – Tier 1 Main Contractor

Location: Bristol
Salary: Negotiable DOE + Package
Employment: Permanent

We are working with a leading Tier 1 Main Contractor who are looking to strengthen their regional Bristol commercial team with the appointment of an Assistant Quantity Surveyor.

This is an excellent opportunity for either a Graduate Quantity Surveyor looking to begin their career with a major contractor, or somebody already part-way through their Quantity Surveying degree who has gained some practical industry experience alongside their studies.

The contractor currently has two live schemes in the Bristol region, alongside a strong secured pipeline of future work through to 2028, offering excellent long-term prospects and the opportunity to develop within an established regional team.

The Role

Working alongside experienced commercial professionals, you will gain exposure across the full commercial lifecycle of major construction projects, developing your experience in areas including:

• Subcontractor procurement and management
• Cost reporting and forecasting
• Valuations and variations
• Contract administration
• Measurement and take-offs
• Supporting project commercial performance
• Working closely with operational and project teams

What We're Looking For

Candidates should either:

• Hold a degree or recognised qualification in Quantity Surveying, or
• Be currently studying towards a Quantity Surveying degree/qualification with a clear intention to become fully qualified.

Some previous experience within a construction or commercial environment would be advantageous, particularly with a main contractor, although applications from strong graduates with relevant academic experience will also be considered.

The successful candidate will be ambitious, commercially minded and looking to build a long-term career within a Tier 1 contracting environment.

What's on Offer?

The salary is negotiable depending on experience and current level of study, alongside a competitive wider package.

More importantly, this offers the opportunity to join a contractor with an established Bristol presence, two active projects and a secured forward workload, providing genuine stability and a clear platform for progression from Assistant Quantity Surveyor through to Quantity Surveyor and beyond.
