Quantity Surveyor – Groundworks “Not another ‘fast-growing’ contractor. Just a good one.”

Let’s be honest — half the adverts you’ve read this week say “fast-growing groundworks contractor.”

Subtitles…

Most of them mean “we’ve underpriced three jobs and need someone to sort the mess.”

This one’s different.

This company’s already grown. Properly. Organically. In their approach and size

From one region to several, quietly hoovering up repeat work while others fight over scraps.

These are guys other people lose sleep over when they see certain names in clients visitor books or you know they’re on the tender list.

They’ve done it by keeping their feet on the ground — good people, solid delivery, no drama.

They’re now looking for a Quantity Surveyor who wants to grow with them.

You’ll be across housing infrastructure and civils packages — drainage, roads, footings and externals — for blue-chip housebuilders and developers who actually pay their bills on time.

You’ll join a commercial team expanding because of workload, not turnover.

It’s a structured setup — systems that work, cash in the bank — but still small enough that your voice matters.

Your week won’t just be CVRs and re-measures (although yes, plenty of those).

You’ll run jobs properly: procurement, forecasting, final accounts, the lot.

Mentorship if you want it, autonomy if you’ve earned it.

Progression’s genuine.

Their current Commercial Manager joined as a QS three years ago.

There’s a clear path to Senior and, longer term, to running your own patch if that’s where you’re headed.

They’re not chasing turnover for ego; they’re chasing margin and reputation.

They want people who’ll help build something that lasts.

You’ll fit if you’re commercially sharp, straight-talking, and allergic to fluff.

You’ll struggle if you’re just looking for an easier ride.

Easy life seekers and coasters need not apply

Office base is Leicestershire with sites across the East Midlands.

Salary’s more than competitive (obviously) — but the bigger win’s the direction.

It’s the kind of move where you look back in three years and realise you’ve doubled your value and halved your stress.

If you want a company that’s growing the right way — with the structure of a regional heavyweight and the feel of a family business —this one’s worth a quiet chat.

100% discretion is assured. From us and them – they’re happy to do offsite meetings in the first instance so there won’t be any wagging tongues in the office and word won’t get back to your current lot.

Everyone who gets in touch will get a response. Don’t worry if you haven’t got an up to date CV it’s not important for now.

So what are you waiting for…

Now the diversity bit (I know)…
