Senior Quantity Surveyor High-Rise Residential London £70,000 £85,000 + Hybrid A highly respected construction consultancy is expanding its London residential cost team and is seeking a commercially astute Senior Quantity Surveyor to play a pivotal role in the delivery of some of the capital s most ambitious residential developments. This is not a replacement hire it is a strategic appointment driven by sustained project wins and a growing development pipeline. This is ideal for an experienced surveyor looking to step into a genuine second-in-command trajectory, this opportunity offers visibility, autonomy, and a clear route toward senior leadership. The Opportunity You will join a high-performing residential team delivering complex schemes across Build-to-Rent, student accommodation, and mixed-use sectors. Current and upcoming projects include: • 42-storey PRS tower developments • Large-scale Build-to-Rent communities • Mixed-use regeneration schemes • High-density urban residential projects This role offers the chance to lead significant workstreams while partnering closely with an established team leader positioning you naturally as the future operational Number 2. If you enjoy operating where decisions are made, rather than being buried in layers of hierarchy, this environment will suit you. Why This Role Stands Out • Strong pipeline secured with well-funded developers • Leadership team that empowers rather than micromanages • Clear growth strategy within the London residential sector • Hybrid working built on trust and output • Exposure to complex projects that accelerate career capital Most importantly your contribution will be visible. This is the type of role where strong performers become known quickly. The Role You will take ownership of key commercial responsibilities across major residential schemes, including: • Leading cost planning, procurement, and contract strategy • Managing valuations, variations, and financial reporting • Advising clients on risk, opportunity, and commercial performance • Driving projects through both pre and post-contract phases • Resolving contractual challenges with confidence • Supporting client relationships at senior stakeholder level • Acting as a trusted commercial voice within project teams This is a delivery-focused position suited to a surveyor comfortable operating with both independence and accountability. The Profile This role will suit an established Senior QS or an ambitious Project QS ready to step up who wants more than just another project rotation. You are likely to bring: • Consultancy or client-side quantity surveying experience • Strong residential project exposure (BTR, PRS, high-rise, or mixed-use preferred) • Confidence operating in client-facing environments • Excellent commercial judgement • MRICS achieved or clearly within reach • A proactive mindset with leadership potential Just as important as experience is intent. The team is looking for someone who sees their next move as a platform for long-term progression not a sideways shuffle. Salary & Benefits • £70,000 £85,000 base salary • Hybrid working (typically 2 3 days in office / site) • Excellent project exposure • Genuine career progression For the right individual, there is flexibility at the top end of the band. The Bigger Picture Opportunities to position yourself directly beneath established leadership without waiting years for movement above are increasingly rare in the London consultancy market. If you are starting to think more seriously about where your career is heading over the next 3 5 years, this is the type of move that creates momentum. Strong surveyors rarely regret joining a business during a growth phase. Confidential Search We are managing this appointment on a confidential basis. Further detail on the consultancy, team structure, and project portfolio will be shared with suitable applicants. Click Apply or get in touch for a confidential conversation with Andrew Pearson at EC Property Recruitment. My contact number is (phone number removed) and you can find all my details on LinkedIn.
