Senior Quantity Surveyor

Senior Quantity Surveyor – Estate Regeneration (London)

📍 On-site 4 days/week · Tier 1 Main Contractor · Immediate Start

I'm recruiting on behalf of a well-established Tier 1 contractor for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join the final phase of a large-scale estate regeneration scheme in London. The project is currently at MEP 1st fix, and we’re seeking someone who can hit the ground running to drive commercial close-out with confidence and clarity.

This is a lead role working closely with the Commercial Manager — ideal for a surveyor who thrives under pressure, brings structure to complex close-outs, and can take full ownership of commercial responsibilities across a high-value package.

💼 The Role: What You'll Be Doing

Commercial Leadership:

*

Drive client change management — ensure value recovery and clear documentation

*

Liaise directly with client-side QS teams to finalise outstanding change items

Reporting & CVR Management:

*

Own the commercial reporting process, ensuring robust backup, accuracy, and audit-ready detail

*

Work alongside the Commercial Manager to validate CVR inputs/outputs

Subcontractor Close-Outs:

*

Finalise subcontractor accounts and negotiate final agreements

*

Identify and recover overpaid or duplicate costs

*

Lead on issuing final payment notices and settlements

Team Oversight:

*

Manage and mentor at least one junior surveyor (AQS or PQS)

*

Set high standards and bring accountability to the team

🧠 Who We’re Looking For

✅ Strong background in residential or estate regeneration schemes
✅ Confident in client-facing roles and commercially sharp under pressure
✅ Comfortable with JCT D&B 2016, fixed-price environments, and subcontract negotiations
✅ Detail-driven, analytical, and able to operate autonomously from day one
✅ Clear track record of package ownership and delivering final accounts

📌 Key Details

*

Location: London (on-site 4 days/week, 1 WFH day depending on workload)

*

Contract Type: Freelance or fixed-term (aligned with project close-out; scope to extend)

*

Start Date: ASAP
