The Company A privately run contractor delivering residential developments across Essex and the wider region. They operate on schemes ranging from one-off bespoke houses through to developments of up to 50 units. It’s a hands-on business with direct director involvement and a steady pipeline of repeat work. The commercial team is lean - which means exposure across both surveying and estimating, not siloed roles. This would suit someone who prefers accessibility to decision-makers, genuine responsibility and the opportunity to grow with the business rather than sit in a large corporate structure. Interested?
