About the role
I’m currently working exclusively with a well-established carpentry & joinery contractor who is looking to bring on an Estimator / Quantity Surveyor due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of secured work.
This is a key role within the business, managing multiple projects while also supporting estimating and tendering when capacity allows.

* Monitoring costs, identifying risks, and reporting on variations
* Supporting estimating and tendering activities when required
What I’m Looking For:
* Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within carpentry & joinery (essential)
* Must come from a subcontractor background – no main contractor experience only
* Strong understanding of joinery manufacturing and installation processes
* Hands-on carpentry/joinery background is highly desirable
* Solid commercial awareness and strong negotiation skills
* Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously
What’s On Offer:
* £60,000 – £75,000 salary depending on experience

* Genuine autonomy within the role
* Excellent benefits package including:
