Job description

Picture this: a QS consultancy where becoming a partner isn't just corporate speak - it's actually how things work. No bureaucracy. No endless approval chains. No being lost in a sea of directors who joined a decade before you. Just a tight-knit partnership that's built something genuinely special and now wants the right person to help write the next chapter.

What You're Walking Into a firm where experienced partners work shoulder-to-shoulder with enthusiastic junior staff. Everyone’s opinion matters. Red tape doesn't exist here. If you've got a better way of doing something, they want to hear it. The partners aren't empire-building - they're looking for someone who’ll become one of them.

Someone who wants skin in the game, not just a salary. Someone who sees this as the opportunity it is: a genuine route to equity and partnership in a profitable, established practice.

What They Need From You

You're already operating at Senior or Associate QS level within consultancy.

You're MRICS qualified (minimum close to sitting APC) You've got the technical chops, the client and BD skills, and the commercial awareness.

But more importantly? You're ambitious without the ego. You want to build something meaningful, not just add another line to your CV.

You're done with corporate politics and ready for somewhere your contribution actually shapes the business.

What You Get

• A clear, realistic pathway to full partnership and equity
• Genuine influence over business direction from day one
• Competitive package with performance-related rewards
• The satisfaction of building something you'll eventually own
• Work-life balance that's protected, not just promised
