Job Description

Senior Quantity Surveyor Autonomy, progression and specialist project exposure

This is a newly created Senior Quantity Surveyor opportunity for an experienced consultancy-side QS who enjoys autonomy, responsibility and being trusted to deliver. Based out of Barnet, you'll be supporting a specialist fire and remediation-focused business with a strong and growing pipeline of work.

You'll join a well-established, multidisciplinary consultancy group with a people-first culture and long-term vision. The workload is secure, varied and technically interesting, and there is genuine investment in developing senior professionals rather than just filling a seat.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading cost management on specialist projects from early stages through to completion
  • Preparing cost plans, estimates and financial reports
  • Managing procurement, tendering and contract administration
  • Advising clients on cost, risk and value
  • Working closely with technical and project teams on complex schemes

What they're looking for

  • Strong consultancy background at Senior QS level
  • Ideally chartered (MRICS) or working towards it
  • Confident managing projects with minimal supervision
  • Open to developing fire safety and remediation knowledge
  • Clear, professional communicator with client-facing confidence

What's in it for you

  • Salary up to £70,000, potentially higher for the right person
  • Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
  • Exposure to specialist and growing project areas
  • Support and training in fire safety if required
  • Stable business with clear progression pathways

Why this role will excite you

  • You'll be trusted to run your own work
  • You'll gain exposure to a specialist sector without needing prior experience
  • You'll join a consultancy that invests in its people
  • You'll work in a grown-up, low-ego environment

This is a great opportunity for a Senior QS looking for autonomy, development and long-term stability within a respected consultancy group.
