EA Associates are working with a specialist construction and fit out contractor who are looking to strengthen their commercial team with the appointment of a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor. Our client operates across the high-end residential and commercial sectors, delivering a varied portfolio of construction, refurbishment and bespoke interior fit out projects. The business is open to considering candidates from a range of construction backgrounds, rather than focusing solely on those with previous fit out experience. Whether your experience has been gained with a main contractor, specialist subcontractor or within the residential or commercial construction sectors, we'd be keen to hear from you. The Opportunity This is an opportunity for a commercially minded Quantity Surveyor to join a specialist contractor working on projects where the quality of the finished product, attention to detail and effective commercial management are equally important. The position offers exposure to a variety of projects across different sectors, rather than being limited to one particular type of construction. Depending on experience, the successful candidate will take responsibility for the commercial delivery of projects, working closely with the management team, clients and subcontractors throughout the construction process. Responsibilities will include: Managing the commercial aspects of projects from initial procurement through to final account. Preparing and managing project budgets, cost reports and forecasts. Procurement, negotiation and management of subcontractor packages. Preparing valuations, applications for payment and managing variations. Monitoring project expenditure and identifying potential commercial risks. Working closely with Contracts Managers and project teams to maintain commercial control.

Strong communication and negotiation skills. A practical approach to problem-solving and commercial decision-making. An interest in working across varied construction projects. Previous high-end residential or fit out experience would be beneficial, but is certainly not essential. Candidates from main contracting, residential development, refurbishment, specialist subcontracting and wider commercial construction backgrounds are all encouraged to apply. Above all, our client is looking for someone with a solid commercial foundation, a good attitude and the ability to become a valued member of the team. Why Consider This Opportunity? For a Quantity Surveyor who has spent their career working on larger, more repetitive construction projects, this could offer a welcome change of pace and exposure to a different side of the industry. Equally, for someone already operating in the specialist contracting or fit out sectors, it offers an opportunity to continue developing their career across a varied range of residential and commercial projects. The employer is flexible regarding the level of appointment, making this worth exploring for both established Senior Quantity Surveyors and Quantity Surveyors looking to progress.
