  • Ensuring compliance with quality and regulatory standards

It's a varied and people-focused role, ideal for someone who wants to grow their knowledge of development, construction, and project delivery.

What We're Looking For:

  • A degree in Quantity Surveying, Building Surveying, Construction Management, or a similar field
  • A proactive attitude and strong communication skills
  • Interest in construction, development, and consultancy work
  • Eagerness to work towards chartered status (RICS or CIOB)

What's On Offer:

  • Ongoing support and structured training towards professional chartership
