• Helping diversify the business away from its healthcare/education heavy portfolio and into new, commercially viable markets.
• Potentially bringing a fresh network, new ideas, or a different specialism to complement the team.
• Leadership of a team across various locations (who already work effectively on Teams) – no micromanagement, just a collaborative culture.

The Quantity Surveying Director – Requirements

• MRICS
• A strong Quantity Surveying background in UK Consultancy environments
• A strong background in Business Development, Work Winning & a network of contacts that can be nurtured
• Property / Real Estate sector background
• Excellent pre and post contract experience & a successful track record leading projects
