About Us

Our client is a growing specialist contractor in architectural metalwork, delivering high-quality balconies, balustrades, staircases, and cladding projects across London.

  • Handling cashflow, valuations, chasing payments, and preparing business reports
  • Conducting site surveys and liaising with clients
  • Supporting the small works division and ensuring commercial success
  • Negotiating with main contractors
  • Learning every aspect of specialist contracting from the ground up


What We’re Looking For

  • A QS with a 2+ experience - ideally in specialist contracting
  • Based near Colchester spending several days a week in head office as well as visiting sites in London (travel expensed)
  • Personable, detail-oriented, commercially aware, and driven to succeed
  • Happy to get involved in all areas of the business
  • Flexible - can join as permanent (£40k–£50k) or freelance/day rate (with travel expenses covered)


Why Join Us?

  • Direct mentoring from the business owner
  • Exposure to all aspects of specialist contracting
  • The chance to make a real impact in a growing company
  • Rapid progression opportunities, as the business grows, so will you
