About the Opportunity
I’m delighted to be working in partnership with a highly respected, design-led residential developer who deliver exceptional new-build housing projects across Scotland. Due to continued growth, my client is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor who will also take ownership of procurement functions across multiple developments.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established and forward-thinking company at a senior level, where you’ll have genuine influence over commercial strategy and supply chain performance.

Key duties include:
Preparing cost plans, tender documentation, and subcontract enquiries.
Managing tender analysis, contract negotiation, and award recommendations.
Overseeing procurement strategies to ensure best value, quality, and programme compliance.
Monitoring project costs, budgets, and forecasts; producing detailed commercial reports.
Managing interim valuations, variations, and final accounts.
Building and maintaining strong relationships with the supply chain and internal teams.
Supporting senior management in driving continuous improvement in commercial and procurement processes.
About You
Degree-qualified in Quantity Surveying (or equivalent professional qualification).
Minimum 5 years’ experience in residential or housebuilding sectors.
Strong understanding of JCT/NEC contracts and commercial management.
Proven track record in procurement and supply chain management.
Excellent negotiation, analytical, and communication skills.
Commercially astute, detail-oriented, and proactive in identifying value opportunities.
What’s on Offer
Competitive salary and benefits package.
Opportunity to work with a reputable and growing developer.
Supportive, collaborative team environment.
Career progression and professional development encouraged.
If you’re a Senior Quantity Surveyor who enjoys taking ownership of commercial and procurement responsibilities — and you’re ready for your next challenge with a quality-focused developer — I’d love to hear from you.
