Assistant Quantity Surveyor Full Time NEW

Randstad Construction & Property
Job Title: Assistant / Project Quantity Surveyor – Defence Infrastructure

Location: Surrey Based (Covering South East Framework) Salary: Competitive + Car Allowance / Fuel Card + Benefits

The Mission

We aren’t just building; we’re securing the future of UK infrastructure. Following a successful framework win with the DIO (Defence Infrastructure Organisation), we are looking for one Assistant Quantity Surveyor and one Project Quantity Surveyors to join our Surrey-based team.

This is a high-stakes, high-reward environment. You’ll be working on critical defense upgrades across the South East, ensuring our armed forces have the modern, robust facilities they require.

The Role

You won’t be stuck behind a desk five days a week. This role is for the “boots on the ground” surveyor.

• AQS Focus: Supporting senior commercial staff with measurements, sub-contractor accounts, and learning the nuances of MOD frameworks.

• PQS Focus: Taking ownership of work packages, managing NEC4 contracts, and driving commercial value on complex infrastructure sites.

• The Framework: Upgrading critical infrastructure-from runways and hangars to technical facilities and housing.

What We’re Looking For

• The Commuter: You must be comfortable with travel. Some sites will require a 1.5 to 2-hour commute within the South East. A full UK driving license is essential.

• The Sector: Experience in Defence (DIO/MOD) or heavy civil infrastructure is a massive plus, but we will consider those from a strong “hard” construction background.

• The Contract: Familiarity with NEC3 or NEC4 is highly preferred.

• The Vetting: Due to the nature of the sites, you must be eligible for (or already hold) SC Security Clearance.

Why Join Us?

• Stability: Long-term framework security through the DIO.

• Growth: We’ve already filled 4 of these positions; we are expanding rapidly and promote from within.

• Support: Full kit provided for mobile working, including a generous car allowance or a car.
