Project Quantity Surveyor – Solomons Europe – Hartlepool

Solomons Europe

Permanent, PAYE Role

Location: North East England, we have offices in Hartlepool & Chester Le Street

Solomons Europe is a Consultancy celebrating its 25th year in business, working with clients in the Power, Infrastructure and Renewables sectors, big businesses, with big project budgets. And whilst we aren’t shoulder to shoulder with these large corporate entities in terms of size, as an SME business we bring agility and hunger which means we have worked with some of the largest in the business, as well as some of the smallest, and we think it is this that gives us an edge.

Our teams advise and support our clients in the development and delivery of procurement, contract and commercial management strategies at all levels of the construction supply chain. We are strongly invested in our regions and are focused on the achievement of not just commercial project success for our clients, but also the delivery of positive socioeconomic outcomes in the communities in which we work.

You will be joining a progressive, forward-thinking, ‘bit of a rebel’ type organisation, that isn’t afraid to put its head above the parapet and doesn’t like to be the same as everyone else. We prefer to strike out independently and watch others follow our lead.

Quantity Surveying can sometimes be a bit of an art and requires curiosity, imagination, adaptability, and robust communication skills, as well as technical acumen and competence. Like our awesome teams, you’ll naturally have these qualities in spades. Not only are we a curious bunch at Solomons, but we also look out for each other, prioritising the development of our health, wellbeing and resilience, as much as our professional skills. Which we think makes Solomons a pretty great place to work.

So, if you want to join a QS community that likes to be different, then we want to hear from you.

Benefits of working for this ‘Bit of a Rebel’ business*:

  • Competitive Salary  
  • Flex Allowance – £5,500 allowance pro rata per annum – You are in full control of how you use this allowance and will have the freedom to choose to take it as cash or to select the benefits that matter to you and your lifestyle.

  • Design your ideal career and pathway: We are committed to supporting personal development at our company, so tell us your dream career pathway, and how it will benefit our business and we will support you 100% to make it a reality.
  • Hybrid & Flexible working: We have key regional offices and MS Office suite technologies which means agile working is the norm. We believe in face-to-face collaboration and relationship building, whilst balancing your individual personal preferences with the needs of our colleagues, project teams, our clients and Solomons Europe with the effective use of remoting working and technologies in order to drive projects forward effectively and efficiently.
  • Get a good rest: We offer the use of a staff holiday lodge in the lake district every year and opportunities to recharge and rebalance at our exclusive Resilience and Wellbeing Retreat close to Ullswater. 25 days of annual holiday plus usual bank holidays, and the option to buy/sell up to 5 days leave.
