Bennett and Game Recruitment LTD
Quantity Surveyor – Chichester (Hybrid Working) 40k – 75k DOE Defence Sector Projects International Project Exposure

Bennett & Game are currently representing a specialist Main Contractor based near Chichester who are seeking a Quantity Surveyor to join their growing commercial team. This is an exclusive opportunity being managed by Bennett & Game Recruitment, working with a contractor that delivers technically complex construction projects across the UK and internationally within secure and defence-related sectors.

The company has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality projects typically ranging from 250k to 8m, working with long-term clients across the defence and infrastructure sectors.

The successful candidate will quickly become responsible for managing their own projects with minimal supervision, making this an excellent opportunity for a capable Quantity Surveyor looking for greater autonomy and project ownership. Applications are welcomed from both Main Contractors and Quantity Surveying Consultancies, provided candidates have strong commercial fundamentals and experience delivering construction projects under NEC forms of contract.

The position offers a hybrid working structure with typically 2-3 days per week based in the Chichester office, making the role suitable for candidates located across Chichester, Portsmouth, Southampton, Guildford, Brighton, Crawley, Basingstoke and surrounding areas. Due to the nature of the projects, applicants should ideally live within approximately one hour of Chichester and also be able to travel into London when required.

While the role is primarily UK-based, the business also delivers projects across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. The successful candidate will have the option to spend approximately 2-4 weeks per year supporting international projects, although the role can remain entirely UK-based if preferred.
