Assistant Quantity Surveyor – 6-Month Contract

Location: Hybrid Gosport (once a week) – with weekly UK-wide travel – expenses paid

Why This Role May Be Worth Your Attention

This is a rare opportunity to work with a nationally significant organisation that manages essential UK infrastructure and delivers projects with tangible impact. You’ll support work that is critical to the UK’s resilience, operations, and national capability-a far cry from typical commercial construction roles.

You will:

? Take on a varied and meaningful workload

You’ll support both multiple smaller contracts and one major project, giving you a wide spread of commercial exposure and the opportunity to develop rapidly.

? Work with a respected, knowledgeable commercial team

You’ll be learning from experienced Senior QS professionals and contributing directly to projects that blend mechanical engineering, infrastructure, and NEC-driven delivery.

? Enjoy a flexible working pattern

The role offers a sensible mix of:

• Home working for the majority of the week
• Trips to UK sites (approx. once per week) with all travel expenses covered
• A base location at the organisation’s Gosport facilities when required

? Step into a contract with extension potential

The organisation has a strong track record of continuing contracts where performance is good-ideal if you’re looking for longer-term stability while contracting.

About the Role

You’ll join as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor, supporting the wider commercial function across a portfolio of engineering and infrastructure work. It’s a hands-on supporting role where you’ll help drive delivery, ensure compliance with NEC3/NEC4 frameworks, and strengthen commercial governance across the programme.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting Senior QS staff across a diverse project portfolio
• Assisting with multiple small works contracts and one major project
• Contributing to pre-tender activity and procurement preparation
• Working within NEC3 and NEC4 contract structures
• Handling commercial tasks including reporting, cost management, and contract admin
