Job description

Quantity Surveyor | Residential Contractor | West London | Immediate Start

A growing developer-contractor is looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to take commercial ownership of a major £20m residential refurbishment in West London, before moving on to a pipeline of residential schemes across London.

You’ll play a central role in driving procurement, commercial management, and contractual control on a technically challenging project ideal for a QS who’s confident operating independently, influencing design and delivery teams, and protecting commercial outcomes while working within a fast-paced developer environment.

This is a key hire for the business, suited to someone who can hit the ground running, communicate clearly, and bring structure to commercial processes from day one.

The Role

• Lead procurement and letting of complex subcontract packages
• Prepare tender enquiries, analyse returns, and issue subcontract orders
• Manage subcontractor accounts through to final account
• Prepare valuations, forecasts, CVRs and cost-to-complete reports
• Maintain accurate commercial records and support project teams with contract compliance
• Maintain oversight of prelims and ensure site records support supply chain challenges
• Retain and update risk & opportunity schedules
• Manage claim submissions and responses, protecting SDL's contractual entitlements
• Take ownership for commercial delivery and financial performance across assigned projects

What they're looking for

• Degree‑qualified Quantity Surveyor with 4+ years' post‑qualification experience
• Strong track record on residential apartment schemes and refurbishment projects
• Experience with Design & Build contracts (JCT)
• Able to influence project and design teams to drive better commercial outcomes
• Strong analytical, organisational and time‑management skills
• Confident drafting contractual letters, reports and commercially sensitive correspondence
• Knowledge of bonds, warranties, guarantees, LOIs and common contractual mechanisms

This is a hands‑on, fast‑moving developer‑contractor delivering high‑quality residential and mixed‑use projects across London.

With a strong pipeline and a major refurbishment scheme already underway, you’ll join a team where your input makes a direct impact on the commercial success of each project.

The culture is professional, pragmatic and collaborative ideal for QSs who enjoy taking ownership rather than being lost in a large corporate structure.
