• Working closely with clients, consultants, and stakeholders at all levels
• Mentoring and developing junior team members

• Private healthcare & hospitals
• Education (schools & universities)
• Commercial, industrial & logistics

About You

• 7+ years' experience in Quantity Surveying (consultancy or contractor)
