Job description

Our client, a well-established residential developer, is seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join their team and take ownership of a key project in Southampton – a 104-unit new build development. Phases 1 and 2 have been successfully completed, and the company is now moving forward with Phase 3 following the previous contractor entering administration. The building is already watertight, with internal fit‑out works remaining — including kitchens, bathrooms, and finishing elements. This is a great opportunity to take a lead commercial role on a live, sizeable scheme and see it through to completion.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee all commercial and cost management aspects of Phase 3.
• Manage procurement of remaining packages and materials (kitchens, bathrooms, finishes, etc.).
• Prepare, review, and negotiate sub-contractor orders and payments.
• Conduct regular cost reporting and forecasting.
• Work closely with the Project Manager and Site Team to ensure financial and contractual control.
• Maintain strong communication with stakeholders, clients, and suppliers.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within the residential new build sector.
• Strong knowledge of JCT contracts and procurement processes.
• Ability to manage cost control and budgets effectively.
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
• Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline ().
