This opportunity offers the chance to join a respected contractor delivering a diverse range of residential, healthcare, and community-led regeneration projects across London and the Southeast. With several major schemes entering key delivery phases, the need for a commercially sharp QS with specialist façade experience has never been greater.

Prepare detailed cost plans, tender documentation, and subcontract evaluations with a focus on value engineering and risk mitigation.

*

Manage change control processes, variations, and commercial reporting with accuracy and clarity.

*

Liaise closely with design teams, façade engineers, and site management to ensure technical compliance and smooth delivery.

*

Build and maintain strong relationships with specialist subcontractors and supply-chain partners.

*

Provide guidance and mentorship to junior commercial staff where required.

What We’re Looking For

*

Proven experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor within main contracting or specialist façade subcontracting.

*

Strong understanding of cladding, curtain walling, rainscreen systems, and associated compliance requirements.

*

Solid contractual knowledge, ideally with experience in NEC or JCT forms.

*

Ability to manage multiple work packages concurrently while maintaining high commercial standards.

*

Confident communicator with strong negotiation and stakeholder-management skills.

*

Proactive, detail-driven, and capable of working autonomously within a supportive team environment.

What’s on Offer

*

Competitive salary package with excellent benefits.

*

The opportunity to play a central commercial role on large-scale, community-focused developments.

*

Long-term career prospects within a company committed to quality delivery and internal progression.

*

A collaborative culture where your specialist expertise is valued and recognised.
