Fulkers Bailey Russell are a dynamic, growth-focused construction consultancy, with a focus not only on our projects but our impact and our people too. We are looking for a Quantity Surveying Director to join our Residential Sector, leading in the delivery of complex and varied projects.

Why Fulkers Bailey Russell?

We are a Construction Consultancy that's big enough to handle the most challenging and exciting projects, yet small enough to foster a culture of genuine care for our employees – our 'Fulkers people'. We pride ourselves on a foundation built by our friendly, supportive, professional, and ambitious people, infusing these values into everything we do.

About the role - Quantity Surveying Director

Our Quantity Surveying Directors are technical specialists and role models for our Quantity Surveyors, with a dual purpose. The first is the delivery of the most challenging and complex projects as the principal quantity surveying lead, meeting the needs of the clients and our delivery teams whilst delivering the right profitability targets for Fulkers.

The second is to ensure the successful performance of the quantity surveying talent within their sector and across the business - mentor, coach, train and provide guidance, along with managing resource planning and project requirements whilst being on hand to mitigate technical escalations.

• Providing leadership guidance on utilisation of Quantity Surveying resources for new projects as well as across existing projects, using your expert knowledge within the field to monitor utilisation, assess efficiency, identify issues and make recommendations for improvements and optimisation.
• Acting as primary commercial/quantity surveying contact for key clients and Client Directors, providing service delivery and establishing yourself as a key stakeholder and the first point of contact for commercial Quantity Surveying expertise at the most senior level.
• Collaborating with the Managing Director and Client Directors to secure new business/clients as well as new opportunities within existing clients; this will require an understanding of the capabilities of the other disciplines in the sector.
• Identifying opportunities for continuous improvement of people, processes, and systems relating to your discipline to aid in the growth and evolution of the business in line with market/client needs
• Acting as an expert and specialist role model for all quantity surveyors while leading them on projects.
• Demonstrating best practise, constantly optimising, and adhering to governance and policies whilst embedding an attitude of wider business collaboration, to instil the right behaviours.
• Always take personal responsibility for the health and safety of self and others by working within the Health and Safety policy and procedures.
• Endeavour to improve our social and environmental impact.
• Any other duties as reasonably required of the role.

Requirements

• Fully Chartered Accreditation alongside 10 years plus senior experience within Quantity Surveying.
