Senior Quantity Surveyor (Consultancy) - Belfast Office - £Competitive Your new company HAYS Property & Surveying are proud to be working in collaboration with a National Property & Construction specialist, as they search for a Senior Quantity Surveyor for their Belfast office. With this an exciting opportunity for the successful individual to head up their PQS component locally, under the stability of the experience across their UK network - it comes at an exciting time of continued growth and success, both here in Northern Ireland but also further afield. Certainly, the autonomy of this Senior leadership role, coupled with the relative flexibility of the local director's involvement (as opposed to some of their multi-national competitors) should appeal to those looking for more freedom or less red-tape in the day-to-day conducting of their role.

What you'll need to succeed You'll be a Chartered Quantity Surveyor with circa 5 years post-Chartership experience placing you at the projected level required to fulfill this function. You'll have practical experience as a 'traditional QS' - ie taking off quantities (QTOs), compiling price lists, valuing and certifying works completed. You should be proficient in the preparation of contractor documents, and have experience across standard forms including NEC3/4, JCT and traditional. Ideally your background will have covered both private and public sector works, but more important is a can-do attitude, team-player ethos and a motivation to success in a stand-alone position within an ambitious consultancy. What you'll get in return A full-time position with an established, well-networked consultancy with coverage across the UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland. With this position forming a pivotal function for their Belfast office, it should genuinely appeal to those looking for an opportunity to showcase their abilities in a supported environment.
