Job Description:
Quantity Surveyor – Social Housing & MOD Contracts
Central Belt of Scotland
Up to £70K (DOE) Strong Benefits
Are you a Quantity Surveyor looking for a secure pipeline of work and the chance to join one of the UK’s leading property services contractors?
We’re working with a major player in the social housing maintenance sector that continues to expand across Scotland. Off the back of significant contract wins, including a major MOD maintenance framework, they’re now looking to strengthen their commercial team with an experienced Quantity Surveyor based in the Central Belt.
This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a long-term, stable role working across high-value maintenance and refurbishment programmes in both the social housing and defence sectors.
The Opportunity
You’ll be joining an established commercial team delivering reactive maintenance, planned works, and refurbishment projects across a portfolio of long-term framework contracts.
You’ll have real influence over the commercial performance of key contracts, working closely with operational teams to drive value, control costs, and ensure projects run smoothly.
This isn’t a desk-only role – you’ll be actively involved with projects, clients, and supply chain, giving you genuine ownership over your work.
What You’ll Be Doing
Managing the commercial performance of social housing and MOD maintenance contracts
Preparing valuations, cost forecasts, and financial reports
Managing subcontractor procurement and payments
Identifying cost savings and commercial opportunities
Handling variations, final accounts, and contract negotiations
Working closely with delivery teams to ensure projects remain profitable
What They’re Looking For
Experience as a Quantity Surveyor or Assistant Quantity Surveyor ready to step up
Background in social housing, property services, maintenance, or construction
Strong commercial awareness and stakeholder management skills
Ability to manage multiple projects and subcontractors
Degree or relevant qualification in Quantity Surveying or Commercial Management
Why This Role Stands Out
Major contractor with a strong reputation in the sector
Long-term secured work through social housing and MOD frameworks
Clear progression opportunities within a growing commercial team
Stable maintenance contracts rather than one-off projects
Excellent benefits package and career development

Opportunities like this don’t stay open for long — especially with a contractor that already has major frameworks secured for the years ahead.
