Headlines
Looking for more variety, more autonomy, and the chance to work across a range of quality projects?
A well-established, privately owned contractor is looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team. You'll be taking the lead on a spread of new build and refurbishment schemes across sectors like residential, commercial, education, leisure, and healthcare.
With projects typically procured via both traditional and design & build routes—including successful two-stage tenders—you'll be trusted to drive commercial performance while working closely with clients and site teams.
Your Role - What You'll Be Doing
You'll act as the commercial lead on your schemes, taking responsibility for:
Budgeting, cost planning, reporting and final accounts
Procurement of subcontractors and suppliers—negotiating best value
Managing monthly valuations, variations, and change control
Driving cash flow through timely applications and payment approvals
Supporting Project Managers to ensure delivery stays on time and on budget
Liaising with clients, consultants, and the internal leadership team
Mentoring junior staff where appropriate
Supporting pre-construction activity and contributing to tender processes Why This Role Stands Out
This is a hands-on Senior QS role offering real variety. Projects typically range from £2m to £15m in value and include:
New build and complex refurbishment schemes
High-spec commercial and residential developments
Public sector projects such as schools and community hubs
Heritage upgrades and listed building renovations
Traditional and D&B contracts, often via two-stage tenders If you're confident managing a project from start to finish and enjoy working across multiple contract types and sectors, this is a chance to thrive in a supportive environment.
About the Business
You'll be joining a respected main contractor with decades of experience delivering high-quality projects throughout London and the Home Counties. Their client base is built on long-term relationships, frameworks, and repeat business—and their work is underpinned by a commitment to technical quality and collaborative working.
The culture is professional but down-to-earth. It's a company where people are treated with respect, given trust and support, and offered long-term progression.
What We're Looking For
6+ years' Quantity Surveying experience, ideally with a main contractor
Comfortable leading commercial duties across full project lifecycles
Strong working knowledge of traditional and D&B contract forms
Previous involvement in two-stage tender processes is a plus
Confident communicator with good commercial instincts
Relevant qualification (degree, HNC, or time-served equivalent)
Self-motivated, detail-focused, and team-oriented What's in It for You
£80,000 - £90,000 depending on experience
Car allowance, travel costs, private healthcare, and full benefits
3 days/week in the Coulsdon head office, rest across active sites
A broad project portfolio with genuine variety
Long-term opportunity in a stable, well-respected contractor
