Job description

A well-established Main contractor working across greater London on various residential projects now seeks an experienced Project QS to join the Site-based team in NW London. Working across both Social Housing and private schemes, projects are typically in the 50 - 150 unit range, RC frame mid to high-rise. The business has enjoyed continued success over the past year and this is a newly created role to supplement the busy commercial team. This is a permanent site-based role, looking after a new project currently at demo stage.

As Project QS, you will be the commercial lead on site working closely with the project manager and reporting to an office-based Director.

1. Monthly CVR reporting
2. Measuring works
3. Building valuations
4. Managing variations
5. Authorising subcontract payments
6. Liaising with clients and other external stakeholders
7. Looking after the company's interests at all times

This is a site-based role with occasional head office visits.

You will be an experienced QS, Senior QS, or Project QS and be looking for a long-term career move. You will ideally be degree-educated in Surveying and be able to demonstrate experience of working on new-build residential schemes with a main contractor from start to finish. You will be comfortable commuting to NW London on a daily basis and be looking for a full-time permanent role.

A competitive salary/package along with the opportunity to join a new project at the procurement stage with the intention to manage the scheme from cradle to grave.
