Quantity Surveyor

Diss, Norfolk
Bennett and Game Recruitment LTD

This is not a typical Quantity Surveyor opportunity. This is a chance to join one of the world’s leading specialist contractors in innovative architectural structures – a business that has been engineering, fabricating and installing technically extraordinary projects since 1985, and one that has built a global reputation for doing things that others simply cannot.

The company operates as a single-source international specialist, delivering complete packages of engineering, fabrication, supply and installation across facades, canopies, skylights, atriums and large-span roofing structures. Their systems integrate glass, steel and membrane into cohesive, compliant and architecturally ambitious solutions. With over 3,000 projects completed worldwide and operations spanning North America, Europe and Asia, the business has established itself as a true pioneer in its field, holding ISO 9001 certification and an enviable track record of award-winning delivery on some of the most complex and high-profile structures on the planet.

The UK operation is an established and growing part of this global group, delivering technically complex facade and structural glazing projects for architects, principal contractors and building owners across the country. Projects have included major healthcare facilities, commercial developments, retail schemes and landmark public buildings. With a strong pipeline of secured and upcoming work, the UK business is investing in its commercial team to ensure projects are delivered with the financial rigour and contractual discipline that schemes of this complexity demand.

This Quantity Surveyor role sits at the heart of that delivery. You will take full commercial ownership of assigned projects from contract award through to final account, working closely with project managers, design leads, the supply chain and clients to manage cost, risk, change and contract throughout. For a commercially driven QS who wants variety, technical challenge, and the chance to work on genuinely distinctive projects within a respected international business, this is a standout opportunity.
