Senior Quantity Surveyor
We are seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to take a leading role in the commercial management of complex construction and infrastructure projects. The successful candidate will be responsible for protecting commercial interests, supporting project delivery, and ensuring that work is completed within agreed cost, time, and quality parameters. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused professional who can work confidently with clients, contractors, consultants, and internal project teams.
Key responsibilities will include preparing budgets, cost plans, estimates, forecasts, and financial reports; managing procurement and tendering processes; reviewing contract documentation; and providing expert advice on commercial and contractual matters. You will monitor project costs, assess applications for payment, manage variations and compensation events, and prepare or review final accounts. The role will also involve identifying commercial risks, maintaining accurate cost records, supporting negotiations, and ensuring compliance with relevant contractual, regulatory, and company procedures. You will be expected to mentor junior quantity surveyors and contribute to the continual improvement of commercial processes and project performance.
Applicants should hold a relevant degree or professional qualification in quantity surveying, commercial management, or a related discipline, together with substantial experience in a construction, engineering, or infrastructure environment. Strong knowledge of procurement routes, standard forms of contract, cost control, change management, and dispute avoidance is essential. Professional membership of a recognised surveying or construction body is desirable, and experience working towards or holding chartered status would be advantageous. You will need excellent numerical, analytical, negotiation, and communication skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and present clear recommendations to senior stakeholders. A proactive, collaborative approach and a high level of commercial integrity are essential.
