Be critical to our success in Kier Places, and join the Capital Projects team as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor recladding the homes of our capital's residents.
Assistant Quantity Surveyor
Location: Flexible working available, where you will be based out of our Basingstoke or Loughton office with home working available and travel to Canning Town & Canary Wharf sites/offices 2-3 days a week.
Business Area: Kier Places - Capital Projects - Cladding Team
Contract & hours: Permanent, full time, Monday to Friday with agile working considered
Package: Competitive salary with company car or allowance + a competitive benefits package
Kier Places are recruiting now for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join our passionate Capital Projects Team and assist on a portfolio of predominantly recladding high-rise building projects. These initial projects will be based in Canning Town & Canary Wharf, with values ranging from £2 million to £9 million, which by their nature are safety critical construction works and involve significant fire and general safety risk.
This is a newly formed team specialising in this new workstream, which has huge long-term growth opportunity - we're looking for an individual who has a passion for the project at hand, who's able to work as part of a closely knit team that has the opportunity to develop and control its own destiny.
Key Responsibilities
As an Assistant Quantity Surveyor with Kier Capital Projects, you will be part of a small team dedicated to the delivery process of two stage and single stage cladding opportunities. Supporting a Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will be involved with the commercial management of all aspects of these opportunities / projects and your key responsibilities will be to effectively manage costs, assist in project reporting, general commercial management of accounts, profitability, and managing risk in a safe, effective & ethical manner.
You will support a Senior Quantity Surveyor in the appointment of consultants and subcontractors, regular financial reporting, processing and administration of applications for payment upstream and downstream, and support managing relationships with the Client and the appointed professional teams.
We encourage flexible working wherever possible in your role - and this may allow you to work from home or from one of our other offices/sites, if appropriate. The cladding team will be based in the Basingstoke office, so frequent travel to that location will be required alongside site visits into London.
What do we need from you?
The successful Assistant Quantity Surveyor candidate should have/be studying a relevant Quantity Surveying qualification; have experience relevant to the commercial aspects of multi-discipline projects; and can demonstrate good general Construction, Health & Safety legislation knowledge and best practices. Whilst expertise in cladding and envelope construction is not essential, experience of delivering projects under JCT or NEC forms of contract will be.
As an Assistant Quantity Surveyor with Kier, you'll be providing commercial input and quantity surveying services to support turnover of £30m per annum, meaning collaborative working with all external and internal stakeholders will be crucial.

The Kier Places' Capital Projects Team delivers refurbishment and new build construction projects across the Blue Light, Health, Education, Retail, Commercial & Residential sectors.
