Are you ready to take your career to the next level? We're thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor to join the dynamic Refresh division of our company, specialising in Refurbishment and Building Improvement. Unlike typical Quantity Surveyor roles, within Refresh you'll be involved in the commercial aspects of projects from early up front estimation right through to project completion. Our projects range from building envelope and internal fire compartmentation works to full room and amenity space refurbishments. What Makes This Role Exciting? Diverse Projects : Work on a variety of projects that challenge and inspire you. End-to-End Involvement : Be a key player in every stage of the project lifecycle. Growth Opportunities : Join a new and expanding part of our business, where your contributions will be highly valued, and your career growth supported. This is a key time for Refresh, as we are poised for accelerated growth. By joining our team, you'll have the chance to make a significant impact and grow alongside us. We're building a strong team to ensure our success and deliver outstanding results for our clients. We have a number of offices and hubs spread around the UK which are available to use; however, this role would be predominately home based with site and office visits as required to report into the project team, line manager and senior leads. About you: To be successful in this role you will need to possess a blend of formal education and hands-on experience, complemented by a proactive approach to professional development. You'll need to demonstrate a good understanding of the industry, along with the ability to effectively manage and deliver projects. The nature of this roles means that we are looking for a person who has sufficient experience and self-discipline to work autonomously to complete the required tasks and have the confidence and ability to contact all team and project stakeholders to ensure actions are completed. Experience of working within the QS function on new build projects would be desirable to allow for an understanding of the construction technology, procurement and CVR process. Experience working specifically on reclad or refurbishment projects would also be advantageous. At Watkin Jones, we believe in investing in our people. Here's what we can offer you: Professional Growth: Individual support for your career advancement. Rewards: Discretionary annual bonus, health cash plan, life insurance, and more. Work-Life Balance: 25 days of annual leave (increasing with tenure), flexible working from home, and discounted gym memberships. Benefits: Company car or allowance, exclusive shopping discounts, and a contributory pension scheme. Why Choose Watkin Jones Group? Watkin Jones Group is the UK's leading developer, builder, and manager of residential-for-rent homes, with a rich history dating back to 1791. With 54,000+ homes developed and in-build across over 254 schemes, we have a proven track record of success. Our operating arm, Fresh, manages over 18,500 units across 58 schemes, representing approximately £1.7bn of assets under management. Joining us means becoming part of a company that's not only deeply rooted in history but also firmly focused on the future. We're committed to creating high-quality rental homes, fostering vibrant communities, and driving sustainable development. This is more than just a job - it's a chance to grow your career in a fast-paced, innovative environment. If you're ready to make a significant impact and advance your career with a market leader, we'd love to hear from you!

Are you ready to elevate your career? We're excited to share a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our dynamic Refresh division, specialising in Refurbishment and Building Improvement. This isn't your typical Senior Quantity Surveyor role. Within Refresh, you'll be involved in the commercial journey of each project from the very first estimation stage all the way through to completion. Our work spans everything from building envelope and internal fire compartmentation projects to full room and amenity space refurbishments.
