Back to vacancies

MacConvilles is a long‑established, award‑winning multidisciplinary consultancy working across London and the South East. Known for delivering outstanding results with a genuinely personal touch, we support clients across sectors including healthcare, education, heritage, commercial, residential, science and the arts.

As part of our continued growth, we’re looking for an experienced Associate Quantity Surveyor to join our Brighton office. This is a key role for someone who brings strong technical capability in cost management and contract administration, and who is excited by the opportunity to help grow and shape our QS offering within the consultancy.

If you’re driven, client‑focused and excited by the idea of contributing to a forward‑thinking, close‑knit team — we’d love to hear from you.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be an enthusiastic, proactive individual with:

  • Significant experience (typically 7+ years) in a Quantity Surveying / cost management role
  • A strong track record of delivering projects from inception to handover, pre‑ and post‑contract
  • Experience administering JCT (and similar) contracts, including Employer’s Agent roles
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence in client‑facing situations
  • The ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities effectively
  • Strong commercial awareness and a clear focus on value for money and quality
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook); experience with CostX or similar is beneficial
  • MRICS (or working towards) or membership of another relevant professional body

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in the quality of their work, enjoys a varied and commercially focused workload, and thrives in an environment where autonomy and responsibility are balanced with support and collaboration.

Why Join MacConvilles?

We offer the best of both worlds: a genuinely friendly, supportive team culture and the scale and variety of projects that keep every day interesting. You’ll be empowered to make decisions, trusted to deliver independently, and encouraged to develop your technical, commercial and leadership skills.

In return, we offer:

  • Competitive salary
  • Private healthcare
  • Contributory pension
  • Support for ongoing CPD and professional accreditation
  • Hybrid working to help balance work and life
  • Opportunities to influence and grow our Quantity Surveying service
  • 24 days plus bank holidays plus 2 days gifted by MacConvilles for Christmas

We’re proud to foster a culture that values transparency, collaboration and long‑term thinking. MacConvilles is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

What Success Looks Like

Following your probation, you’ll be measured on:

  • Client satisfaction, repeat business and strength of relationships
  • Contributing to new leads, fee growth and development of your client portfolio
  • Effective financial management, profitability and delivery of your projects
  • Supporting team development and contributing to the profile of the QS service

This role offers real scope to shape your future, grow your client base and make a meaningful contribution to the direction of the consultancy.
