About the company

MCR Property Group is a national real estate investment and development company with offices in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh. Our core focus is the delivery of high‑quality residential and industrial developments, alongside the active asset management of an expanding portfolio of existing assets. With a development pipeline of approximately 7,000 residential plots and a commercial and industrial portfolio valued in excess of £2 billion, MCR is firmly positioned as one of the UK’s most ambitious and fast‑growing property businesses.

As we continue to scale over the coming years, we are seeking motivated, commercially astute construction professionals who are looking to grow alongside the business. This is an opportunity to join a company at a pivotal stage of its expansion, where strong performance is recognised, responsibility is real and progression is earned.

Role overview

We are currently recruiting for a Quantity Surveyor to play a key role in the commercial and financial delivery of assigned projects. You will be responsible for ensuring schemes are procured efficiently and delivered within agreed budgets and programmes, providing hands‑on commercial expertise from inception through to final account.

Reporting into the Construction Director and Commercial Director, with direct exposure to the Board, you will take ownership of monthly cost reporting, financial forecasting, contract and subcontract packages, and the management of variations. You will work closely with a wider delivery team of Project Managers and fellow Quantity Surveyors, contributing to the commercial strategy and financial control of projects across the portfolio. The role is primarily office‑based, with regular site visits for meetings, valuations and project reviews depending on your experience level and project location.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will bring a strong understanding of subcontract procurement processes and have a minimum of three years’ experience working as a Quantity Surveyor across a range of project types and values. You will have gained experience within a developer, main contractor or subcontractor environment and be confident operating across both pre‑ and post‑contract stages. This includes preparing cost plans and estimates, measurement for bills of quantities, tendering and procurement, value engineering, tender reporting, interim valuations and final accounts.

A broad knowledge of construction industry processes, procedures and best practice is essential, along with a solid technical understanding of building materials, construction techniques and building systems. You will be comfortable working with financial and reporting tools and be fully computer literate, with strong working knowledge of Excel, Word and related software. A full, clean driving licence is also required.

Personal attributes

From a personal and professional perspective, this role requires someone who approaches challenges head‑on, is confident acting as a sounding board for colleagues and stakeholders, and can provide practical, commercially sound solutions when issues arise. You will possess strong interpersonal and communication skills, be comfortable negotiating with subcontractors and consultants, and carry yourself with professionalism and confidence when dealing with individuals at all levels of seniority.

What we offer

This is a role for someone who wants responsibility, visibility and the chance to make a tangible impact within a growing business. If you are commercially driven, technically capable and looking for an opportunity to develop your career within a high‑growth property company, we would welcome your application.
