Job description

Job Title: Intermediate Quantity Surveyor

Location: Greater London

Salary: £45,000 – £65,000

Sector: Residential and Commercial

Workplace Type: Office based with site visits

I'm supporting a consultancy that was set up to offer high quality, client focused surveying servies in London,specialising in both residential and commercial developments, including heritage and mixed-use projects. The current team is lean but highly experienced, giving you a chance to make a tangible impact from day one. This is a place where initiative is rewarded, clever thinking is encouraged, and your work genuinely shapes the projects you’re involved in.

The team delivers robust cost advice, commercial insight and practical delivery support across the full project lifecycle. Their portfolio stretches from the refurbishment and fit out of iconic London buildings to commercial office projects, residential developments and sensitive heritage sites.

About the Position

You’ll be in the thick of everything cost management: cost planning, commercial management, contractor negotiations, cashflow forecasting and financial reporting. You’ll work closely with directors and senior surveyors who are hands on and collaborative, giving you direct access to leadership and a real voice in how projects are delivered. It’s a role for someone who enjoys making smart judgement calls and thrives without layers of red tape.

About You

You’re either already an Intermediate Quantity Surveyor or a well‑rounded PQS with solid London project experience, and you’re MRICS qualified or steadily working towards chartership. You get along with contractors and clients with equal ease, have a sensible head on your shoulders when balancing cost against design and delivery, and you’re comfortable juggling multiple briefs across commercial and residential portfolios. If you’ve got a bit of swagger in the meeting room and clarity under pressure, you’ll fit right in.

This is not a box‑ticking environment. They want someone who adds value, challenges the norm and always looks for smarter ways of doing things.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Clear progression with direct access to senior leadership.
• Exposure to high‑profile London projects across residential and commercial sectors.
• Hybrid flexibility with a central West End base.
• Supportive culture with plenty of room to grow and influence.
