Quantity Surveyor – Planned Works / Social Housing

Company: RecruitME
Apply for the Quantity Surveyor – Planned Works / Social Housing
Location: Tonbridge
Job Description:

This is not a desk‑based QS role. We are looking for a hands‑on Quantity Surveyor to join a successful, high‑performing branch delivering planned works across social housing. This is a site‑led role focused on kitchen and bathroom refurbishment programmes, where strong SOR experience, commercial awareness and the ability to take ownership are essential.

The role

  • Manage commercial performance of planned works contracts
  • Work heavily with Schedule of Rates (SOR) / NHF frameworks
  • Attend site regularly and work closely with delivery teams
  • Monitor costs, variations and overall contract performance
  • Work alongside Contracts Managers in a delivery‑focused environment
  • Manage subcontractors and direct labour
  • Drive CVR, margin and financial performance
  • Identify risks early and take action to keep projects on track

What we are looking for

  • Experience as a Quantity Surveyor within social housing or planned works
  • Strong background in kitchen and bathroom refurbishment (essential)
  • Excellent SOR coding experience (NHF or similar)
  • Strong commercial and financial awareness
  • Experience managing subcontractors and direct labour
  • Confident, resilient and able to challenge when required
  • Self‑motivated and able to manage your own workload
  • Ambitious and keen to progress

What’s on offer

  • Join a busy, high‑performing and ambitious branch
  • Strong pipeline of secured work through long‑term frameworks
  • No micro‑management – trusted to deliver
  • Work closely with an operations‑led team
  • Genuine opportunity for progression and growth
  • A role where you can take ownership and make a real impact

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands‑on QS who wants to get out on site, take ownership of contracts and play a key role in driving commercial performance within a growing and successful business.
