Job description

Intermediate or Senior Quantity Surveyor

Location: London

Posted: 10/12/2025

£65K- £95K / Year (Job ID J29544)

Join a growing, design‑led contractor operating in the super‑prime, bespoke residential and heritage refurbishment market across London.

This company works on one‑off, architect‑led, technically complex homes from listed buildings and conservation‑area refurbishments to basements, structural alterations, and full townhouse transformations.

This is not volume housing or process‑driven production work; this is detail‑led, hands‑on construction at the premium end.

They're actively winning work, tendering heavily, and moving into a new office as the business scales.

The Role

• Take full commercial ownership of bespoke residential & heritage refurbishment projects
• Manage procurement of specialist subcontract packages (basements, structural, heritage trades, finishes)
• Run valuations, variations, CVRs, cost reporting & forecasting
• Work closely with Directors, Consultants & Site Teams on design‑led schemes
• Support with tendering and early‑stage cost planning

What they're looking for

• Intermediate or Senior QS
• Background in super‑prime or bespoke schemes not essential
• Would suit someone who has been involved in heavy refurb or residential projects
• Someone who enjoys complex problem‑solving not rigid corporate process
• Loyal, adaptable, commercially sharp, and delivery‑focused
• Comfortable in a smaller, fast‑moving business with real responsibility

The Company

They are a super‑prime residential & heritage refurbishment contractor, delivering bespoke, design‑led projects across London.

Their work typically includes:

• Listed & period buildings
• Basement excavations
• Full townhouse refurbishments
• Structural reconfigurations
• High‑end bespoke interiors & finishes

This is craftsmanship‑led construction not volume or repetitive work.
