The role & about the client:
ITS Construction Professionals South are working with an established specialist construction contractor based in Woking, who are looking to appoint a Brickwork Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team.

Our client delivers brickwork packages across a varied portfolio of residential, commercial and large-scale construction projects throughout the South East. Working alongside some of the region's leading housebuilders and construction contractors, they provide specialist brickwork services across developments ranging from large housing schemes and apartment blocks through to complex commercial projects.

With a strong reputation for quality, safety and reliable delivery, our client has built an established presence within the construction industry and continues to develop its project portfolio.

This is an opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor with brickwork experience who understands the technical and commercial requirements of specialist subcontract packages and wants to play an important role in managing project costs and commercial performance.

You'll be joining an established commercial team, working closely with operational colleagues, site teams and senior management to ensure projects are delivered efficiently, commercially controlled and financially successful.
The role would suit someone who enjoys getting into the detail, understands how brickwork packages are delivered and can bring a practical, commercially minded approach to quantity surveying.

Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Managing the commercial aspects of brickwork packages across residential and commercial construction projects.
• Reviewing contract documentation, drawings, specifications and project requirements.
• Preparing and managing project budgets, cost plans and commercial forecasts.
• Producing accurate valuations, applications for payment and supporting documentation.
• Managing variations, change control and additional works throughout the project lifecycle.
• Identifying commercial risks, opportunities and potential cost savings.
• Preparing and agreeing subcontractor and supplier payments.
• Managing procurement, material costs and subcontract package orders.
• Monitoring project costs, expenditure and commercial performance against budget.
• Liaising with main contractors, clients, developers and internal operational teams.
• Working alongside Contracts Managers and site teams to ensure commercial and operational requirements are aligned.
• Reviewing brickwork quantities, labour outputs, material usage and project productivity.
• Supporting commercial negotiations, contractual discussions and final account agreements.
• Managing multiple projects and ensuring commercial deadlines are achieved.
• Maintaining accurate commercial records and reporting project financial performance.
• Supporting the commercial handover of projects and ensuring contractual obligations are understood.
• Identifying opportunities to improve commercial processes, cost control and overall project performance.

The ideal candidate will have/be:

• Previous experience working as a Quantity Surveyor within a brickwork contractor or specialist construction subcontractor.
• A strong understanding of brickwork packages, construction methods and site environments.
• Experience managing commercial packages on residential developments, commercial projects or large-scale construction schemes.
• The ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, contract documentation and project requirements.
• Experience preparing valuations, variations, cost reports and final accounts.
• A commercially aware approach, with an understanding of labour, material, subcontract and project costs.
• Strong numerical, analytical and organisational skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to identify discrepancies or commercial risks.
• Confidence communicating with clients, contractors, suppliers and internal teams.
• The ability to manage multiple projects and work effectively to deadlines.
• A proactive approach, with the confidence to take ownership of commercial responsibilities.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Excel and relevant commercial software.
• A relevant construction or Quantity Surveying qualification would be advantageous, although practical brickwork commercial experience is particularly important.

The opportunity:
This is a great opportunity to join an established specialist contractor with a strong presence across the South East and an ongoing portfolio of residential and commercial projects.

You'll be working on a varied range of brickwork packages, providing exposure to different construction environments and the opportunity to develop your commercial expertise within a specialist trade.

Our client is looking for someone who can take ownership of their projects, contribute to commercial decisions and work closely with the wider team to ensure projects are delivered successfully and profitably.

For an experienced Brickwork Quantity Surveyor, this represents an opportunity to join a well-established business where technical knowledge, commercial judgement and attention to detail are genuinely valued.

The business has a collaborative, hands-on approach, with an emphasis on quality, teamwork and delivering projects properly.

Salary will be dependent on experience.
