Overview

Director - Quantity Surveying

Location: London | Sector: Commercial, Residential & Mixed-Use Developments

Client: Independent Construction Consultancy

A rare and compelling opportunity has arisen for an accomplished Director-level Quantity Surveyor to join a highly respected independent construction consultancy in London.

This is an opportunity for a proven commercial leader to take a seat at the table of a flourishing, design-led practice that continues to attract an enviable portfolio of work across commercial, residential, and mixed-use development sectors.

Unlike the constraints of a large corporate, this environment offers the freedom to influence, shape, and drive strategic direction-while remaining close to the clients, projects, and people that define the firm\'s reputation for excellence.

The Opportunity

You will take full responsibility for leading major projects and client accounts, overseeing the performance and delivery of a dedicated QS team, and contributing to the broader business plan. The role is both strategic and hands-on - ideal for a Director seeking greater visibility, ownership, and long-term potential within a consultancy poised for its next stage of growth.

The Individual

• A proven Quantity Surveyor at Director or Senior Associate level within a leading consultancy.
• Strong technical foundation across commercial, residential, and mixed-use schemes.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a track record of cultivating client relationships and driving business growth.
• Leadership presence, commercial acumen, and a genuine interest in helping shape a growing practice.

This is a notable leadership opportunity within a business that values excellence over size, authenticity over hierarchy, and long-term relationships over short-term gains.
