Quantity Surveyor - Retail Projects, Manchester

Job Posted: a month ago

Salary: £ 50,000 - 60,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Manchester

Job Description

A growing construction consultancy is continuing to invest heavily in its North West business and is looking to strengthen its Manchester Cost Management team following a significant increase in workload across its retail portfolio.

This isn’t a traditional Quantity Surveying role where you’ll spend your time tied to one major development.

Instead, you’ll take ownership of a portfolio of retail refurbishment, fit-out and new-build projects, typically managing five or six live schemes simultaneously, with individual project values generally ranging between £250,000 and £2 million.

If you enjoy variety, thrive in a fast-paced environment and like building strong client relationships, this is a role where you’ll quickly be given responsibility whilst benefiting from the support of an experienced senior team.

Retail experience is certainly advantageous, but it isn’t essential. What’s far more important is that you’ve worked within a consultancy environment, are comfortable managing multiple live projects at once and enjoy working at pace.

The Role

Working within an established Cost Management team, you’ll provide commercial support across a programme of refurbishment, fit-out and new-build retail projects for nationally recognised clients.

The role has been created following a significant increase in workload from one of the consultancy’s major retail clients, creating an immediate requirement for an additional Quantity Surveyor within the Manchester team.

You’ll work closely alongside Project Managers, contractors and client teams, taking ownership of the commercial delivery of multiple live schemes from inception through to final account.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing the commercial delivery of multiple live refurbishment, fit-out and new-build projects.
Preparing cost plans, estimates and tender documentation.
Contract administration and change management.
Managing valuations, variations and final accounts.
Providing commercial advice throughout the full project lifecycle.
Working closely with Project Managers delivering programmes across multiple sites.
Building strong client relationships through responsive, commercially focused advice.
About You

I’m keen to speak with Quantity Surveyors who enjoy taking ownership of projects and working in an environment where no two weeks are ever the same.

You’ll ideally have:

Consultancy or client-side Quantity Surveying experience.
Experience managing multiple live projects simultaneously.
Strong client-facing communication skills.
A solid understanding of both pre- and post-contract Quantity Surveying.
Experience delivering refurbishment, fit-out or other fast-paced construction projects.
Retail experience would be advantageous, but candidates from similar consultancy backgrounds will also be considered.
Progress towards APC or MRICS would be beneficial.
Why Apply?

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a consultancy that’s investing heavily in both its people and its North West business.

You’ll become part of a vibrant Manchester office of around 60 professionals across multiple disciplines, working within a collaborative environment that’s built an excellent reputation for its culture, flexibility and hybrid working.

Unlike many Quantity Surveying roles, you’ll enjoy genuine ownership of your own workload, manage a varied portfolio of live projects and work closely with nationally recognised clients from an early stage in your career.

With continued investment, a growing client base and clear opportunities for progression, it’s an excellent time to join a dynamic consultancy that’s building real momentum across the North West.

Salary & Benefits

£50,000–£60,000 basic salary, with higher packages considered for candidates with significant consultancy-side retail programme experience.
Car allowance.
Comprehensive benefits package.
Hybrid and flexible working.
APC support and ongoing professional development.
Clear long-term career progression.
