Assistant Quantity Surveyor - London

Our team provides cost management services to a variety of clients covering the whole of the UK and a range of overseas locations.

We are expanding due to business growth and an opportunity exists for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor in our London office.  

Your Role

As part of our team of international experts you will be expected to provide our clients with a comprehensive range of Cost Consultancy services.  We consider these skills paramount to the successful execution of any construction venture. Working alongside our colleagues across the business, we draw upon the highest calibre of skills to provide our clients with a professional quality Cost Management service.

Our flexible approach delivers the optimum cost management strategy, one which satisfies the business and project objectives of our clients and delivers the best possible results for all stakeholders. 

You will be integral in our Cost Management strategy which embodies a wide variety of specialist services including planning and forecasting, option appraisal, business case preparation, procurement advice, whole life costing, life cycle costing, cost planning, construction management, change control, project monitoring and contractual expertise and advice.  With the financial interest of our client a fundamental priority, we analyse and consider the financial implications at every project stage, attaching great importance to cost control, budgeting and financial appraisal.

We are cognisant of the importance of obtaining value for money and the comfort that cost certainty and control brings to our Clients. As such, you should be able to utilise a Risk Management system involving the identification of potential risks, the classification and analysis of risk and the implementation of risk response strategies. This ensures that we administer construction commissions with a greater degree of anticipation and forethought for our clients.
