Assistant Quantity Surveyor na Mount Anvil

The Role

We’re looking for a motivated, well-organised and ambitious Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join our team on our brand-new project, Church Street. A JV with our partner Westminster Council, based in Edgware Road, is currently in preconstruction and over the next 4 years we aim to deliver 450 new homes, redevelop Church Street Library, and provide new community facilities. We are set to commence piling at the end of 2025 meaning you'll have the unique opportunity to join a scheme right from the beginning of construction.  

You'll play a key role in helping with the procurement of Subcontractor packages and managing the administration of those same packages . You will support in the drafting of the monthly Cost Reports, by producing package statements for your Subcontractor accounts. Of course, we’ll train you on our PO systems (PayApps/4PS) to help get you up to speed quickly. You’ll excel at building strong relationships with vendors and subcontractors alike.

Ours is a high-performance culture. High performance in this role is using initiative and drive to make a difference. You’ll be taking ownership from the start — bringing sharp attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the confidence to collaborate with teammates and the external team. You’ll play a key part in moving our Gateway 2 submission forward and delivering a standout development. At this exciting early stage of the project, your initiative will help shape the direction of what’s to come.

This is a culture where you’ll be giving and getting feedback from day one, because we think it’s the fastest way to learn and to build trust. We want to be challenged by you, too – we hate unnecessary hierarchy and “my way or the highway” has no place here. So, if you’re interested in working on a new flagship scheme apply now!

Mount Anvil

What we do: We’ve worked in partnership for 31 years to create outstanding places in London. We’re growing, with our construction turnover doubling, and with a pipeline of new projects where we’re raring to get started and make a difference.

Why we’re here: We’re here to pursue better, differently.

Better: One of The Sunday Times’ “100 Best Small Companies to Work For” for over a decade, winner of multiple Pride In The Job and WhatHouse awards for our people and the quality of our homes, and proud to have the nation’s best site in our ranks (winning the highest possible marks across the Considerate Constructors Scheme’s five areas – the first site ever to do so in 22 years of the CCS).

Differently:  Our culture is unusual. Different means more transparent with information. More direct with feedback that helps us all grow. More rigorous about setting goals, then giving more freedom to go and achieve them. It’s definitely not for everyone. We don’t hire know-it-alls, we hire “learn-it-alls”.  As our CEO, Killian, says: “We work hard to find people who thrive on context and responsibility, rather than rules and procedures. We then work like owner managers, not a leader and a load of helpers.”

Benefits:

Private medical insurance for you and your family through Vitality (including discounts on spa breaks, cinema tickets and your food shopping, free Starbucks, 50% off Virgin Active Membership and more).

Income Protection Insurance to help you cope financially if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, Life Assurance equivalent to four times your salary, your annual leave & Bank Holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity leave and workplace nursery salary sacrifice, allowing you to save tax and NI on monthly nursery fees. 

We think the best benefit of being here is the learning culture and the ability to make a real difference – we dislike hierarchy and politics, and “not my job” isn’t in our vernacular. Which means if you really care about raising the bar and really want to feel connected to the end product, as opposed to like a cog in a big machine, this could be the place for you to grow your career.
