Job description

MorganCarr is a vibrant, slightly radical construction consultancy delivering high-quality fit-outs and refurbishments in live, operational environments. We specialise in projects where there’s no room to shut down — from Michelin starred restaurants to creative spaces and high-profile venues that need to keep running while we transform them.

This is fast-paced, high-energy work where the turnaround is measured in weeks, not years. It’s the opposite of the drawn-out, slow-moving projects many QSs are used to. If you thrive on momentum, variety, and the buzz of seeing results quickly, you’ll fit right in.

Location: Worthing (Monday & Friday office-based, hybrid working)

Hours: Full-time, 40 hours per week

The Role

As a Quantity Surveyor / Project Manager at MorganCarr, you’ll combine cost and contract management with hands-on project delivery. Our projects move quickly and demand adaptability, problem-solving, and confident decision-making.

You’ll typically manage 3–5 projects at a time, often across different sites, and spend 2–3 days a week on location (mainly London/South East, with occasional national travel). You’ll be involved from cost planning through to final handover, with the added opportunity to represent us in pitches and client meetings.

If you’re looking for a predictable, routine role, this won’t be the right fit. It’s for someone dynamic, confident, and ready to bring personality as well as technical skill to the table.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare and manage cost plans, cost estimates, budgets, and cashflows
• Manage the procurement and tendering process, including main contractor and client direct contractors
• Manage valuations, variations, and final accounts
• Create and deliver project programmes to tight timelines
• Manage site meetings with contractors and clients
• Attend sites regularly to oversee progress and quality
• Build strong relationships with clients and stakeholders
• Contribute to pitches and adapt proposals for different clients/projects
• Have an awareness of contractual requirements for projects (mainly JCT)

What We’re Looking For

• BSc in Quantity Surveying or similar
• Experience in a QS, PM, or hybrid role
• Excellent communication skills with a strong personality that can fit in and stand out
• Ability to manage multiple fast-paced projects and thrive in challenging, live environments
• IT literate (Microsoft Office + measurement/bill production software)
• Full UK driving licence

Nice to have:

• Experience in fast-paced, client-facing sectors such as hospitality, leisure, creative, retail, or high-end commercial and residential environments
• RICS/CIOB membership or working towards it

Why Join Us?

• Competitive salary and benefits
• Exciting, varied projects with quick turnarounds and visible results
• Annual ski trip, regular team events, and Friday breakfasts
• On-site gym, shower facilities, and fully stocked kitchen
• A culture that values individuality, confidence, and doing things differently
• Discretionary bonus scheme
• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• Additional day off for your birthday
• Flexible working hours and location
• Free breakfast and lunch (including team breakfast Fridays)
• Phone allowance
• Brand new high-end laptop with premium software
• Cycle to work scheme
• Professional membership subscriptions
• Ongoing CPD / training support
• Contributory pension scheme
• Great coffee
• Office dogs
