Senior Quantity Surveyor
Multi Disciplinary Consultancy

Salary: c. 60,000 - 80,000 (Dependent on experience)

The Company:
A consultancy business that spans across building surveying, architecture, building services engineering, cost consultancy, project management and health and safety. They also have a focus on specialist areas such as sustainability, retrofit and compliance.

The Opportunity:
Are you an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor with a strong main contractor background looking to transition into a strategic consultancy role? Or perhaps you are already in consultancy but want to leverage your deep understanding of target cost models?

We are a leading multi-disciplinary building consultancy looking for a commercially sharp, forward-thinking Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between contractor-side commercial reality and strategic client advice, managing a diverse portfolio with a strong focus on Residential and Social Housing projects.

The Role
As a Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will lead the commercial governance of high-profile projects from inception to completion. You will use your main contractor expertise to master our target cost model, ensuring maximum efficiency, minimal risk, and exceptional delivery for our clients.

• Commercial Leadership: Lead cost planning, risk management, and strict commercial governance using our target cost model.
• Strategic Advisory: Act as a trusted advisor, providing robust strategic cost advice directly to clients within the Social Housing and Residential sectors.
• Mentorship: Support the growth of the business by mentoring, guiding, and developing junior members of the commercial team.
• Innovation: Contribute to business efficiency by identifying areas for process innovation and smart commercial practices.

Ideal Candidate:
We are looking for someone who understands the fast-paced nature of a main contractor environment but is ready to apply that knowledge in a consultative, strategic capacity.
Requirements:

• Experience: Minimum of 3 years working specifically as a Senior QS, with a proven track record of managing target cost projects within a Main Contractor environment.
• Qualifications: Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or a relevant commercial discipline.
• Professional Status: RICS status is preferred, but not essential. If you aren't chartered yet, we will fully support and sponsor you to achieve this.
• Skills: Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence both clients and internal teams.

What They Offer:
We believe in rewarding our people with a highly competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your work-life balance, health, and professional growth.

• Generous Leave: 26 days annual leave + Bank Holidays.
• Perks: Your birthday off, the ability to buy/sell annual leave, and additional long-service leave.
