Associate Quantity Surveyor

Tired of being just another cog in the machine? This is your chance to be part of something from the ground up. We're recruiting on behalf of a young, ambitious construction consultancy in Preston that's rewriting the rulebook-and they're looking for an Associate Director (Quantity Surveyor) to help drive their next phase of growth.

They're growing fast, winning exciting projects across commercial, residential, heritage, and public sectors, and are now looking for someone who can own the QS function at a senior level. They're not looking for someone to follow. They're looking for someone to build with.
