Job description

We are currently working with a well established developer/builder in Edinburgh who are looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor/Commercial Manager to take a leading role on an exciting city centre commercial development in Edinburgh.

The business has been established for over a decade and during that time has become a recognised leader in its field. They deliver a diverse range of high quality projects across the commercial and mixed use sectors, with a strong focus on well designed, long term assets.

This role offers the opportunity to take full commercial ownership of a flagship project from early design stages through procurement and delivery. Working in a developer led environment, you will have genuine influence over cost strategy, value engineering and commercial decision making, rather than operating in a purely transactional QS role.

The Role

You will manage all commercial aspects of the project, working closely with the development, design and construction teams. Responsibilities include cost planning and budgeting, procurement strategy, contract administration, managing consultants and contractors, reporting to senior stakeholders, and overseeing valuations, variations and final accounts.

About You

You will be an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor with a background in commercial or large scale development projects. Experience working for a property developer or on developer led schemes would be advantageous, though strong contractor backgrounds will also be considered. You will be confident operating autonomously and comfortable taking responsibility at a senior level.

Why Apply

This is a rare opportunity to join a well established developer with a strong reputation, a healthy pipeline of interesting projects, and a long term outlook. You can expect a competitive salary, attractive benefits, and clear progression as the business continues to grow.
