We are seeking to appoint a full-time Associate Lecturer / Lecturer in Quantity Surveying within our School of Engineering. The successful candidate will join a committed and forward-thinking academic team delivering programmes within our expanding Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, and Facilities Management portfolio, which is recognised for providing high-quality, industry-relevant education.

The main function of this role is to educate and support students by delivering engaging and rigorous teaching in key areas such as measurement, construction economics, commercial management, and contract administration.

A PhD/Professional Doctorate, Chartered status, and experience in working with industry or developing applied partnerships would be highly desirable.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking, professionally focused institution where innovation, student engagement, and applied learning are at the heart of everything we do.

We ask a lot from our staff, but in return, you will receive a competitive benefits package including access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, an employee benefits programme, and generous annual leave entitlement.
