A long‑established, financially secure fit‑out and bespoke joinery contractor is looking for a Quantity Surveyor to join their growing commercial team. The business delivers high‑specification interior projects across the UK and Europe, with a strong reputation for quality, fast‑track delivery and exceptional craftsmanship.
You’ll be based in a modern, refurbished Northampton office with a stable team, excellent staff retention and a supportive culture. Their in‑house joinery workshop gives them full control over quality and enables rapid turnaround on complex, design‑led projects.
Projects You’ll Work On
You’ll manage a diverse portfolio of fast‑moving schemes including:

• Fast‑turnaround, design‑sensitive environments
Commercial & Trade
• National builders’ merchants
• Bespoke joinery‑led refurbishments and fit‑outs
Projects typically range from £1m–£4m, with occasional schemes up to £16m. Programmes run 4–12 weeks with multiple packages and subcontractors.
The Role – Quantity Surveyor
You’ll take full commercial ownership of multiple fit‑out and refurbishment projects from pre‑construction through to final account. This is a fast‑paced environment where decisions are made quickly and procurement cycles move fast.

• Measure and value works on site accurately and efficiently
• Procure specialist packages within tight lead times
• Manage and negotiate subcontractor accounts
• Oversee 8–18 work packages and 4–13 subcontractors per project
• Produce clear cost reports, forecasts and commercial updates
• Attend site visits once to twice per week
• Support smooth delivery across short programmes and concurrent schemes
What We’re Looking For
• Experience in fit‑out/refurbishment within commercial contracting or subcontracting
• Strong commercial and contractual knowledge
• Comfortable working on fast‑paced, tight‑turnaround projects
• Confident communicator with a relationship‑focused approach
• Able to manage rapid procurement cycles and short lead times
• Qualifications helpful but not essential — capability matters most
Package & Benefits
• £40,000 – £65,000 + £5,000 car allowance
• Laptop & phone
• Pension scheme
• Travel expenses covered
• 22 days holiday + bank holidays
• Hybrid working considered depending on location and workload
Why Apply?
• Work on high‑profile, varied projects across stadiums, retail and commercial interiors
