Not tight - just commercially aware, right? Assistant Quantity Surveyor job in Super-Prime Residential Refurb & Fit-Out London Permanent If you've ever brought a calculator to a night out- this might be your natural calling. We're looking for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor with a few good years under their belt to join a long-established, family-run main contractor. These lot have been delivering prime refurbishments and fit-outs across London since before Sean Connery first raised an eyebrow in Dr. No - and their attention to detail hasn't slipped since. This isn't high-volume housing or shiny modular boxes - it's the kind of work where a doorknob can cost three figures and someone will absolutely notice if it's the wrong shade of brass. What you'll be doing You'll be supporting a Senior QS across some of London's most detail-obsessed projects - the sort that look calm and elegant on completion, but only because someone spent 6 months untangling variations. CVRs that actually make sense Client progress walks (and polite smiles when they ask is that included?) Trade take-offs and procurement Cost comparisons that make you feel like Poirot with a calculator Subcontract management from order to final account Variations - lots of them - all logged, costed and justified before anyone can say value engineering. Basically, you'll learn how to keep a 10m job profitable while making it look effortless. What you'll need A few solid years' experience with a main contractor Exposure to refurb or fit-out (super-prime is a bonus, not a must) A calm head when numbers don't quite add up The diplomacy of a hostage negotiator when chasing subcontractors If you're from a Tier 1 or regional contractor and fancy trading spreadsheets and frameworks for craftsmanship and finish - this is your chance to move somewhere smaller, sharper, and saner. The company A proper, grown-up main contractor - 120m turnover, solid reputation, and a pipeline that doesn't involve guesswork. You'll get the support, the autonomy, and the kind of projects that make your portfolio look expensive. Discreet chat? Be good to hear from you. Spencer Wade (phone number removed) com
