Job Profile for Senior Quantity Surveyor

Position: Senior Quantity Surveyor

Location: Leeds / Sutton-in-Ashfield, with projects across the North West

Salary: £65,000 - £80,000 + car allowance

Bennett & Game are representing an established and growing construction contractor who are seeking a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their Build Division.

The business forms part of a wider £70m turnover group, with the Build Division generating approximately £30m-£40m annually. The division delivers a broad range of general build and leisure projects, typically ranging from £100k through to £28m-£30m, with a particularly strong track record in leisure centre and swimming pool developments. Their work is secured predominantly through a well-established UK leisure framework, providing a strong pipeline of repeat business and early involvement in projects. Their approach includes early contractor involvement, design development and full design & build delivery.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join a close-knit commercial team at an important stage of the company's continued growth. The successful individual will work across a number of live and upcoming projects, initially gaining an understanding of the business and its systems before taking a key commercial role on larger schemes. The business has around 10-15 senior staff across pre-construction, design, planning and project management, with a strong existing team in Leeds, and operates with a relaxed, collaborative and relatively flat structure.

Salary & Benefits

* £65,000 - £80,000 salary depending on experience
* Company car or £7,000 annual car allowance
* 10% annual bonus scheme
* Company pension
* Private healthcare
* Paid annual leave, with additional leave accrued through length of service
* Hybrid working with flexibility to work from the Leeds or Sutton-in-Ashfield office, from home and on project sites

Senior Quantity Surveyor Position Overview

* Take commercial ownership of a number of live and upcoming construction projects across the business
* Support the pre-construction team and site management teams from tender and early contractor involvement through to project completion
* Take over tenders and ensure accurate cost plans, budgets and commercial strategies are established
* Prepare and manage monthly commercial reporting, valuations, forecasting and cost control
* Monitor project performance and provide clear reporting on profitability, risks, opportunities and commercial performance
* Work closely with project managers, site teams, designers and the wider pre-construction function to ensure projects are delivered commercially and operationally
* Manage subcontractors, procurement, variations, valuations, final accounts and commercial negotiations
* Provide commercial input across a varied portfolio of general build, leisure and refurbishment projects
* Initially support a number of smaller projects across the North West before progressing onto larger schemes within the company's pipeline
* Work collaboratively with the wider business, including its in-house delivery capabilities and specialist divisions

Senior Quantity Surveyor Position Requirements

* Proven experience working as a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor within general building / main contracting
* Strong commercial knowledge across the full project lifecycle from tender and pre-construction through to final account
* Experience managing projects across the general construction sector rather than being highly specialised within one niche
* Strong understanding of cost planning, forecasting, CVRs, valuations, variations and subcontract management
* Experience working closely with site teams and project management to drive commercial performance
* Able to demonstrate strong attention to detail and genuine ownership of project finances
* Leisure, swimming pool, education, healthcare or other commercial building experience would be advantageous but is not essential
