Quantity Surveyor

Project Quantity Surveyor
Location: High Barnet, Hertfordshire
Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 (depending on experience)

I’m working with a well-established, medium-sized contractor who specialise in technically challenging cut & carve structural projects across London and the South East. Their expertise spans structural alterations, complex demolitions, underpinning, reinforced concrete works, basements, temporary works, and structural steel installations. These are not your run-of-the-mill jobs – every project is unique, requiring innovation, precision, and strong commercial management.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Project Quantity Surveyor who wants to move away from repetitive residential or new build schemes and become a specialist in complex structural, and builders’ works within a business where you won’t just be another number.

The Role
As Project QS, you will play a key part in delivering challenging structural alteration projects from pre-construction through to final account. Your responsibilities will include:

Preparing accurate cost plans, valuations, and variations for cut & carve and RC packages.
Leading procurement of subcontractors and specialist trades for demolition, structural steel, basements, and temporary works.
Managing contracts (JCT / NEC) and ensuring robust commercial control throughout projects.
Working closely with the delivery team to ensure safe, profitable, and on-time project completion.
Providing commercial input on risk management and project planning.
Supporting the Commercial Director in growing the business’s reputation for specialist work. The Candidate
We are looking for a proactive Quantity Surveyor who can thrive in a fast-paced, technical environment. You should have:

Experience in cut & carve, RC, or structural alteration projects.
A strong commercial skill set: procurement, valuations, reporting, and contract management.
Knowledge of JCT or NEC contracts.
Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
The ambition to grow quickly within a supportive, medium-sized team.
Be based within a commutable distance of High Barnet.  What’s on Offer

Salary £50,000 – £70,000 depending on experience.
Exposure to complex, challenging structural projects you won’t find in volume housebuilding or traditional contracting.
A medium-sized business where your input is recognised and career progression is rapid.
The opportunity to become a specialist in structural cut & carve works – a niche and highly sought-after skillset.
Supportive leadership with genuine career development opportunities.
Long-term job security with a strong pipeline of work across London. To Apply, please do one of the following:
