Job Description

If you've established yourself as a Senior Quantity Surveyor, your next move should give you more than another portfolio of projects to deliver.

You're looking for greater ownership, more direct relationships with clients and the prospect to broaden your commercial experience while continuing to develop towards Associate level.

That's what makes this opportunity different.

n

Joining a growing cost and commercial advisory consultancy, you'll take ownership of projects across a diverse portfolio while working across both traditional Quantity Surveying and broader commercial advisory services.

Why you'll enjoy this role n

- Take greater ownership – lead projects across pre and post contract stages with more responsibility for commercial outcomes and client relationships

n
- Work with flexibility – hybrid working with Mondays and Fridays from home and Tuesday to Thursday in the office
n




- Invest in your professional development – receive support towards AIQS and RICS membership and professional accreditation
n
- Enjoy a genuinely social team culture – team-building activities every six weeks, regular dinners and drinks, plus employee-led groups focused on training, development and social initiatives
n
- Gain more as your career with the business grows – additional annual leave becomes available with tenure
n

What you'll be doing n

You’ll take greater ownership of projects across both pre and post contract stages, providing cost and commercial advice from early planning and feasibility through procurement, construction and completion.

n

You’ll manage key commercial deliverables including cost planning, estimating, procurement, tendering, reporting, forecasting, variations and progress claims while working directly with clients, consultants and contractors.

n

Alongside traditional Quantity Surveying, you’ll gain exposure to broader commercial advisory work, helping you develop a deeper understanding of project risk, commercial strategy and the decisions that influence successful project outcomes.

n
