About Us
We are a dynamic management-led construction business with a turnover of £20m, delivering projects for a portfolio of blue-chip clients. Our success is built on long-term partnerships — treating our clients as key accounts rather than one-off projects. We pride ourselves on our collaborative, non-adversarial approach, ensuring high-quality outcomes and repeat business.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our team and play a pivotal role in the successful delivery of high-value construction projects. Reporting directly to senior management, you will be responsible for the full commercial lifecycle of projects, ensuring profitability, compliance, and client satisfaction.
Key Responsibilities:

* Act as the commercial lead for key accounts, developing strong, trust-based relationships with blue-chip clients.
* Oversee subcontract procurement and contract administration.
* Provide accurate financial forecasting, cash flow management, and cost/value reporting.
* Support project teams in delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standard.
* Mentor junior members of the commercial team and contribute to best practice within the business.
About You:
* Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor, ideally at senior level, within main contractor or management contracting environments.
* Strong knowledge of construction contracts and commercial management.
* Excellent communication and client-facing skills, with the ability to build relationships at all levels.
* A collaborative mindset — committed to delivering solutions, not disputes.
* RICS qualification (or working towards) preferred but not essential.
What We Offer:
* Opportunity to work with prestigious blue-chip clients on long-term programmes of work.
* A supportive, management-led environment that values partnership and professional growth.
* Competitive salary and benefits package.
* Clear career progression opportunities within a growing business.
If you are a commercially astute, client-focused professional looking to make a real impact in a people-first business, we would love to hear from you
