You won’t be buried in paperwork or boxed into a process. You’ll be front and centre, influencing decisions, driving value, and delivering a project that sets the standard for modern student living.

This is a chance to work on a major urban scheme with real social impact, within an ambitious, values-driven team. If you thrive on autonomy, leadership, and delivering results that matter, this is the opportunity for you.

You’ll be the driving force behind the project’s commercial strategy, leading procurement, managing subcontractors, delivering CVRs, valuations, and forecasts with precision. You’ll oversee risk mitigation and ensure financial controls are watertight throughout.

Leading a team of Quantity Surveyors, you’ll provide clarity and direction, owning the commercial narrative both onsite and in client-facing settings. Expect to be challenged, expect to lead, and expect your decisions to make a visible difference.

ABOUT YOU

• A degree, HND, or equivalent experience in quantity surveying or commercial management
• Proven track record as a Senior QS or Commercial Manager on complex schemes
• Strong command of contract administration and current health and safety legislation
• A sharp commercial mind, equally at home leading a team, presenting to clients, and getting into the details on Excel
• You're someone people trust to lead and deliver

• Discretionary bonus
• Health Cash Plan
• Life Insurance
• 33 days annual leave (inc BH)
