About Us

We are a dynamic management‑led construction business with a turnover of £20m, delivering projects for a portfolio of blue‑chip clients. Our success is built on long‑term partnerships — treating our clients as key accounts rather than one‑off projects. We pride ourselves on our collaborative, non‑adversarial approach, ensuring high‑quality outcomes and repeat business.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our team and play a pivotal role in the successful delivery of high‑value construction projects. Reporting directly to senior management, you will be responsible for the full commercial lifecycle of projects, ensuring profitability, compliance, and client satisfaction.

• Act as the commercial lead for key accounts, developing strong, trust‑based relationships with blue‑chip clients.
• Oversee subcontract procurement and contract administration.
• Provide accurate financial forecasting, cash flow management, and cost/value reporting.
• Support project teams in delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standard.
• Mentor junior members of the commercial team and contribute to best practice within the business.

About You

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor, ideally at senior level, within main contractor or management contracting environments.
• Strong knowledge of construction contracts and commercial management.
• Excellent communication and client‑facing skills, with the ability to build relationships at all levels.
• A collaborative mindset — committed to delivering solutions, not disputes.
• RICS qualification (or working towards) but not essential.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work with prestigious blue‑chip clients on long‑term programmes of work.
• A supportive, management‑led environment that values partnership and professional growth.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Clear career progression opportunities within a growing business.

If you are a commercially astute, client‑focused professional looking to make a real impact in a people‑first business, we would love to hear from you.
