Your Gateway to High-Value QS Roles Across Swindon
Swindon is one of the South West's most dynamic commercial environments — a city undergoing significant regeneration, infrastructure investment, and residential expansion. If you are a skilled Quantity Surveyor looking to make your mark on landmark projects, or a construction business searching for a seasoned QS professional, Team Staffing Agency is your specialist recruitment partner.
We work with Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors, specialist subcontractors, consultancies, and developer clients throughout Swindon and the wider Wiltshire region. Our construction staffing division maintains a robust pipeline of active QS vacancies across commercial offices, logistics warehouses, housing developments, and public sector infrastructure — roles that rarely appear on general job boards.

💡 Did you know? Swindon's construction output is projected to grow by over 18% through 2028, driven by the North Star regeneration quarter, Wichelstowe urban expansion, and ongoing employment park developments. Demand for qualified Quantity Surveyors in the area is at a multi-year high.
