Quantity Surveyor

Job description

Quantity Surveyor / Assistant Quantity Surveyor – High-End Residential

Location: Central London

Salary: Negotiable depending on experience

Sector: High-End / Super-Prime Residential

An established high-end residential contractor is looking for a Quantity Surveyor or strong Assistant Quantity Surveyor ready to step up and commercially run their own project.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants genuine project ownership rather than continuing to manage individual packages within a larger commercial team.

You’ll take commercial responsibility for a high-end residential project in Central London, working alongside an experienced Project Director and with the support of a strong Commercial Director.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for the commercial management of the project, including:

• Procurement and subcontractor management
• Valuations and variations
• Cost reporting and forecasting
• CVRs and cashflow
• Change control
• Subcontractor payments and final accounts
• JCT contract administration
• Working closely with the PM, client team and consultants

About You

You may already be running your own projects as a QS, or you could be an AQS who feels ready for the next step and wants the opportunity to prove it.

High-end residential, refurbishment or fit-out experience would be ideal, but we’re equally interested in candidates from strong main contractor backgrounds with the right commercial grounding.

More important than the title is the individual. You’ll need to be commercially switched on, proactive, confident dealing with people and keen to take ownership.

For the right AQS, there will be support around you while giving you the autonomy to develop into a project-running QS.
