Quantity Surveyor

I’d like someone with 2-5 years experience working with a Main Contractor.

I am looking for a Quantity Surveyor to work closely with the Senior Quantity Surveyor of a Growing Business.

This role suits someone who wants proper ownership and responsibility – not just number-crunching in the background.

Salary offered: £60-65k.

Role Overview:

You'll handle the commercial side of our refurbishment and fit-out jobs from start to finish. That means working closely with site teams, clients, consultants, and subcontractors to keep costs on track and projects moving.

Day-to-day, you'll be:

* Running the commercial management on your own projects (with guidance)

* Sorting out valuations, variations, and final accounts

* Managing procurement and getting subcontract orders out

* Building good relationships with clients and subbies

* Keeping on top of cashflow forecasts and making sure everyone gets paid on time

* Flagging any commercial risks early so we can deal with them

Who my client is looking for:

* 2-5 years as a QS, ideally leading projects worth £50k-£5m

* Background with a reputable mid-sized refurb contractor

* Ready to take the reins on projects but happy to learn

* Good with people – you'll be talking to clients, consultants, and subcontractors daily

* Solid grasp of JCT contracts

* Comfortable with variations, subbie accounts, final accounts – the usual commercial stuff

* Know your way around Excel and cost tracking systems

Why work with my client: We're a tech-enabled main contractor doing complex refurbs and retrofits around London. Growing steadily with plenty of work in the pipeline.

Here's what they offer:

* Proper project ownership – not just assisting someone else

* Interesting work – heritage jobs, tricky cut-and-carve schemes, technically challenging stuff

* Small team – we all work closely together, no silos here

* Your ideas matter – we listen and let people influence how we do things

* Room to grow – as we expand, there are real opportunities to progress and shape your career
