Quantity Surveyor – Earthworks & Enabling Projects – Comfort zone or parking space 

West Midlands (office-based, projects across the Midlands)
£Competitive + Car + Benefits | Expanding Contractor

When was the last time your job taught you something new?

You’re in your comfort zone but is it actually more like a parking space for your career…

…And you’re blocked in.

Not another process. Not another spreadsheet template.

Something that actually made you better at what you do.

If you can’t remember the last time that happened…

That’s the problem.

Because too many good QSs get comfortable. Same jobs, same numbers, same promises about “career development” that turn out to be nothing more than another year of the same.

This situation IS different.

A growing civils and earthworks contractor with a strong reputation, a busy order book, and a proper plan which passes the sniff test for the next few years. They work on the interesting end of infrastructure and development — large-scale earthworks, enabling, and civils packages that set the stage for the rest of the industry. Nothing cookie-cutter. No endless housing plots.

They’ve got a West Midlands base, sensible Midlands travel to sites, and leadership that still believes in mentoring — not micromanaging with pointless emails that p*** you off as soon as you turn your laptop on. You’ll be part of a close-knit commercial team where experience gets shared, progression’s visible, and nobody pretends “you’re empowered” while tying you up in forms.

They’re after a Quantity Surveyor who’s got the fundamentals nailed and wants to keep moving up. Someone confident managing their own jobs, comfortable with subcontractor accounts and forecasting, and curious about what comes next.

The role’s a mix of variety and progression. You’ll work on different types of civils and earthworks schemes — some technical, some fast-moving — giving you the exposure and responsibility that builds proper experience. And as the company keeps growing, there’s clear space to step into a Senior QS role, with backing from people who’ll actually help you get there.

You’ll get:

• Competitive salary + car/allowance + benefits

• A mix of earthworks and civils projects across the Midlands

• Mentoring and progression from experienced commercial leads

• Sensible workload — not ‘crash and burn’ “hero culture” overtime

• Stability, structure, and space to develop

They’re not after a spreadsheet jockey or a suit who’s never seen a site. They want someone grounded, switched on, and happy to muck in when it matters. You’ll get out what you put in — simple as that.

So… are you still growing?

Or have you just gone stale in a job that stopped challenging you years ago?

If you’re ready for variety, mentoring, and a route forward with a company that’s genuinely on the up — this could be the move that gets you out of neutral.
