We have an immediate opportunity for a Quantity Surveying graduate to work within our cost management team in Norwich, to help provide construction cost management services to our clients in the UK, Ireland and around the world.

You will work with a wide variety of clients and designers including some very high-profile names.  We believe that doing the work itself gives the best opportunity to learn, so you can expect to be given responsibility, and will need to be able to work both autonomously and as part of a team, all whilst receiving the guidance and support to allow you to develop.

Job Responsibilities:
