Assistant Quantity Surveyor / Estimator Borehamwood, Hertfordshire £32,000 – £40,000 DOE + Benefits The Opportunity \n Are you an Assistant Quantity Surveyor or Estimator with one or two years’ experience looking for broader commercial responsibility and genuine progression? \n A growing property maintenance contractor is looking for an ambitious Assistant QS to join its Borehamwood team. Working directly with a Director and alongside an experienced Contracts Manager, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to estimating, cost control, subcontractor accounts, variations, invoicing and commercial reporting. \n This is a varied role where you can see each job through from initial enquiry and quotation to final cost review. As the division continues to expand, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your commercial knowledge, take ownership of your work and progress into a more senior position. \n The Company \n The business delivers reactive repairs and planned property maintenance works for an established client base. Continued growth has created the need for additional commercial support to help manage increasing quotation volumes, job costs and reporting requirements. \n The company offers a friendly, social working environment where different departments work closely together. You’ll be joining a supportive team that values accuracy, collaboration and professional development. \n Your Role \n This is not a traditional major-project construction QS position. Instead, you’ll work across a busy portfolio of shorter-duration reactive and planned maintenance jobs, giving you variety and exposure to a high volume of commercial activity. \n Your responsibilities will include: \n\n • Preparing quotes and estimates covering labour, materials and subcontractor costs\n, • Attending occasional site visits to gather information for accurate pricing\n, • Maintaining the quotation pipeline and monitoring conversion rates\n, • Tracking live job costs against quoted values and identifying potential overspends\n, • Collating final labour, material and subcontractor costs\n, • Recording and managing variations to protect project margins\n, • Processing subcontractor quotations, orders and payment applications\n, • Supporting material procurement and negotiating value for money\n, • Assisting with deposit invoices, final accounts and credit-control information\n, • Contributing to weekly turnover, project P&L and management reports\n, • Using commercial and job-management systems such as Procore, PayApps or similar\n\n You’ll work closely with operational and finance colleagues, giving you a rounded understanding of how a successful property maintenance division is commercially managed. \n What We’re Looking For \n This opportunity would suit an Assistant Quantity Surveyor, Junior Quantity Surveyor or Assistant Estimator with around one to two years’ experience. \n You may currently work for a property maintenance company, refurbishment contractor, facilities management provider, subcontractor or general construction business. \n You’ll ideally have: \n\n • Experience producing quotations, estimates or cost information\n, • An understanding of labour, material and subcontractor pricing\n, • Exposure to cost tracking, variations, procurement or subcontractor accounts\n, • Strong numerical, organisational and Excel skills\n, • Excellent attention to detail\n, • A proactive attitude and willingness to learn\n, • The confidence to communicate with trades, suppliers, subcontractors and senior management\n\n Property maintenance experience would be helpful but is not essential. The business is more interested in finding someone with solid commercial foundations, the right attitude and the ambition to develop. \n Salary and Benefits \n\n • £32,000 – £40,000, depending on experience\n, • 20 days’ holiday plus Bank Holidays\n, • Workplace pension with a 3% employer contribution\n, • Salary-sacrifice pension option\n, • Business mileage reimbursed at the statutory rate\n, • Complimentary breakfast and lunch prepared by an in-house chef\n, • Friday evening drinks from the company bar\n, • Pool table, outdoor seating, BBQ and TV facilities\n, • Regular social events, charity initiatives and wellbeing activities\n, • Christmas and New Year office closure\n, • Direct access to senior leadership and genuine career progression\n\n If you’re an Assistant QS or Estimator looking for a varied commercial role where you can develop quickly and become an important part of a growing division, apply today. \n To Apply Interested? Apply directly via the job board or get in touch to find out more. \n Email: Send your CV to Alex @ Reinforcedltd . co . uk (remove spaces) Call: Contact Alex on the number below LinkedIn: Connect with Alex Wallace and send a message. \n Not sure if it's the perfect fit?
