Senior Quantity Surveyor
We are seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join a high-performing commercial team delivering complex construction and infrastructure projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially astute professional to take responsibility for the financial and contractual management of projects from tender through to completion. You will work closely with project managers, planners, design teams, contractors and clients to protect commercial interests while supporting the successful delivery of safe, high-quality work.
Your responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing budgets, cost plans, valuations, forecasts and final accounts, as well as managing procurement, subcontractor packages and payment processes. You will identify commercial risks and opportunities, monitor project performance, assess variations and compensation events, and ensure accurate reporting against agreed targets. The role will also involve negotiating with suppliers and subcontractors, administering contracts, preparing commercial reviews and providing clear advice to senior stakeholders. You will be expected to mentor junior surveyors, promote best practice and contribute to the continuous improvement of commercial procedures and controls.
Applicants should hold a relevant degree or professional qualification in quantity surveying, commercial management or a related discipline, together with substantial experience in a senior quantity surveying position. Strong knowledge of construction contracts, procurement methods, cost control and financial reporting is essential; experience with NEC, JCT or other standard forms of contract would be advantageous. You will need excellent analytical, negotiation and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge decisions and influence outcomes. Commercial awareness, sound judgement and a proactive approach are essential, along with strong IT skills and experience using estimating, cost-management or enterprise resource planning systems. Membership of a relevant professional body, or demonstrable progress towards chartered status, would be desirable.
