Assistant Quantity Surveyor – West End
An established and growing office fit-out contractor is looking to appoint an Assistant Quantity Surveyor to support the commercial delivery of high-quality Cat A and Cat B office fit-out projects across Central London.
This is a strong opportunity for an Assistant QS looking to gain broader commercial exposure within a smaller, well-structured business delivering projects typically ranging from £100k to £5m (circa £1m average value).
The role offers hands-on involvement across multiple projects, working closely with experienced Project Managers in a collaborative environment that allows you to develop faster than in a larger corporate contractor.
The Role
Based in the West End with regular site visits, you will support the commercial management of multiple live projects at any one time, gaining exposure across the full commercial lifecycle.
The business delivers primarily office fit-out projects for blue-chip clients, with around 65% of contracts operating under Design & Build arrangements.
Key responsibilities will include:
• Assisting with cost management across multiple office fit-out projects
• Pricing works and variations with support from senior commercial staff
• Subcontractor procurement, package comparison and negotiation
• Managing subcontractor accounts, valuations and payment processes
• Assisting with variation assessment and commercial reporting
• Working closely with Project Managers on project delivery and client liaison
• Supporting project close-out and final account preparation
You will typically support the commercial management of two to three live projects simultaneously.
The Company
Founded in 2019, this contractor has quickly developed a strong reputation within the London office fit-out market, delivering high-quality commercial interiors across the West End and wider Central London.
The business currently turns over approximately £12m and operates with a tight-knit team of Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers within a flat management structure.
Clients include Royal London, Bloomberg, AXA and Aviva, with projects delivered across a range of prime London commercial buildings. Recent schemes include projects at 10 Chiswell Street and Brook Street in Mayfair.
Projects typically involve internal fit-out packages including drylining, M&E, joinery and decoration, delivered through a trusted and established supply chain.
The role is primarily office-based in the West End with regular site visits, offering strong collaboration with the wider delivery team.
What They Are Looking For
• Experience in an Assistant Quantity Surveyor or Graduate Quantity Surveyor role within construction or fit-out
• Exposure to subcontractor procurement, valuations, variations and cost reporting
• Confidence, or the willingness to develop the ability, to price works independently
• Someone seeking broader commercial responsibility and faster career development
• Degree in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline preferred but not essential
• Stable career history with evidence of reliability and commitment
• Proactive, inquisitive and commercially minded approach
Salary & Package
• £45,000 – £55,000 basic salary depending on experience
• Competitive benefits package
• Strong hands-on commercial exposure across multiple projects
• Close collaboration with experienced Project Managers
• Clear development pathway within a growing contractor
• Opportunity to work on high-quality commercial fit-out schemes in Central London
