£65,000 – £75,000 + Package

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:

* Manage all aspects of cost planning, reporting, and commercial control across projects.

* 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
