Job description

Project Quantity Surveyor - Wembley

Tier 1 Main Contractor | £70m New Build Student Accommodation | £65,000-£80,000 + Car Allowance + Travel

The Opportunity

Imagine being part of something that's not just a project — but a long-term legacy. Our client, a prestigious Tier 1 main contractor, has just secured a 15-year development agreement with one of London's most forward-thinking developers, right in the heart of Wembley.

They're kicking off with a £70m purpose-built student accommodation scheme — the first of many landmark builds set to transform the area over the coming decade.

This is a rare opportunity to join the journey from the start — working on flagship schemes that will redefine a city district.

The Role

As Project Quantity Surveyor, you'll take ownership of all commercial aspects of the first major phase of this long-term partnership. You'll be supported by a Senior Commercial Manager who oversees a £1bn portfolio across London and is widely regarded as a driving force within the business — someone known for mentoring, developing, and fast-tracking top-performing talent.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the commercial delivery of a high-profile new build student accommodation project (£70m)
• Manage procurement, subcontractor relationships, and package delivery
• Control cost forecasting, CVRs, and reporting
• Ensure commercial excellence from pre-construction through to final account

This isn't just about project management — it's about being part of a long-term vision where your success grows alongside the business's footprint in Wembley.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Long-term pipeline: 15+ years of confirmed work in one location — no endless job-hopping between sites
• Prestigious brand: Work for a Tier 1 name known for complex, iconic builds
• Career acceleration: Learn under a Senior Commercial Manager responsible for £1bn+ of projects
• Modern culture: Collaborative, forward-thinking commercial team that values innovation and initiative
• Reward package: £65,000-£80,000 + Car Allowance + Travel + leading benefits

About You

You're a driven Project Quantity Surveyor or experienced Assistant QS ready to step up. You thrive in fast-paced environments, love being close to the detail, and are motivated by seeing landmark projects through from start to finish. Experience with Tier 1 or leading Tier 2 main contractors on new build residential, student accommodation, or mixed‑use schemes would make you an ideal fit.
