• Building long-term relationships with key clients

What They're Looking For:

• MRICS (or working towards chartership with relevant experience)

• Consultancy QS background, ideally with healthcare, defence, or commercial project exposure

• Confident delivering projects independently and communicating with clients

• Strong technical skills and commercial awareness

• Eligible for security clearance (desirable for defence work)

What's on Offer:

• Salary of 60,000 - 65,000 (depending on experience)

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays

• Flexible hybrid working (no set office days)

• Private healthcare, pension & life assurance

• Paid professional fees + full APC support if required
