Ramsgate, United Kingdom Cityscape Full time

About Cityscape:


Cityscape is a well-established company with over 40 years of experience in the demolition and civil engineering sector. With ambitious growth plans, we are recognized for our commitment to quality and employee satisfaction.

Operating primarily in the South East, we handle projects valued up to £7M, offering services such as asbestos removal, temporary works, demolition, remediation, earthworks, and groundwork.

Our strong focus on employee development and training has resulted in high staff retention, fostering a supportive and family-oriented work environment.
About the Role:


We are currently seeking an Assistant Quantity Surveyor to collaborate with the Senior Quantity Surveyor in effectively managing the commercial and financial aspects of projects and tenders within the groundworks and demolition sectors.


In this role, you will play a vital part in controlling costs with the aim of maximizing project margins and ensuring timely payments while nurturing future client relationships.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Assisting in the timely preparation of all payment applications and Final Accounts, ensuring all contractual rights are upheld.
  • Supporting the preparation and presentation of monthly Cost Value Reconciliations (CVR) and final cost/value forecasts.
  • Engaging in procurement, negotiation, and placement of sub-contract orders, contributing to the financial and commercial oversight of sub-contracts through the settlement of Final Accounts.

Attention to detail and pride in presentation are essential, particularly when drafting contractual letters and notices to ensure compliance with contract stipulations.


About You:


To be considered for this position, you should hold a degree in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or a related field.

A minimum of 2 years of post-graduate experience is required, ideally gained while working for a main contractor or specialist subcontractor in the UK, particularly in demolition, substructure, or general civil engineering.


Cityscape provides excellent career advancement opportunities, as evidenced by the progression of several leaders within the organization who began in junior roles and have grown into senior positions at their own pace.


This is an office-based role with occasional site visits across the South East. Candidates must reside within a reasonable commuting distance and possess a full UK driving license.


Compensation and Benefits:


Cityscape offers a competitive salary ranging from £35,000 to £45,000 per annum, depending on experience, along with a comprehensive benefits package typical of a large, successful contractor.
