Associate Quantity Surveyor

Tired of being just another cog in the machine?
This is your chance to be part of something from the ground up.

We're recruiting on behalf of a young, ambitious construction consultancy in Preston that's rewriting the rulebook-and they're looking for an Associate Director (Quantity Surveyor) to help drive their next phase of growth.

This isn't about slotting into a rigid corporate structure. This is about stepping into a key leadership role at a business that's small enough for you to make real impact, who are already building a portfolio that punches well above its weight.

What's the deal?

This consultancy was founded by industry leaders who wanted to do things differently-less bureaucracy, more creativity; less box-ticking, more value-adding. They're growing fast, winning exciting projects across commercial, residential, heritage, and public sectors, and are now looking for someone who can own the QS function at a senior level.

They're not looking for someone to follow.
They're looking for someone to build with.

What you'll be doing:

* Leading cost consultancy services across a variety of design-led, high-quality projects
* Acting as a trusted advisor to clients-commercially sharp and solution-focused
* Mentoring and developing junior talent (and helping grow the QS team from the ground up)
* Playing a hands-on role in shaping business strategy, processes, and culture
* Working closely with the founders on growth, innovation, and long-term vision

What you bring:

* MRICS with solid experience in consultancy-side Quantity Surveying
* A portfolio that shows you can handle complex, multi-sector projects
* Entrepreneurial energy-you're comfortable with autonomy, thrive on responsibility, and love making things happen
* A collaborative, team-first mindset
* The ambition to grow into a full Director (and equity holder) role as the business scales

What's in it for you:

* A real say in how the business evolves
* A clear route to Directorship
* Exciting, design-led projects with clients who care about quality
* A collaborative, non-corporate environment where ideas win
* Competitive salary + performance bonus + flexibility

This is more than a job.
It's a chance to help build a business from the inside. To leave your mark. To grow something that reflects your own vision and ambition.
