About the role
A dynamic London-based development and construction consultancy is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their growing team. Working across high-quality residential, commercial and mixed-use projects, this is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor who wants greater responsibility within a hands-on, client-focused consultancy environment.
The successful Senior Quantity Surveyor will take ownership of projects from early feasibility and cost planning through procurement, construction and final account. The Senior Quantity Surveyor will work closely with developers, architects, contractors and other consultants, providing commercially focused advice while maintaining control of project budgets, procurement and contractual matters.
This opportunity will suit a Senior Quantity Surveyor who enjoys being closely involved in the development process rather than operating within a large corporate structure. The Senior Quantity Surveyor will be expected to manage commissions independently, build trusted client relationships and contribute to the continued growth of the business. For an ambitious Senior Quantity Surveyor, there is strong potential to develop into a more senior leadership position as the consultancy expands.

Leading cost management commissions from feasibility through to final account
Preparing detailed cost plans, estimates and development budgets
Advising clients on procurement routes and tender strategy
Producing tender documentation and managing contractor selection

Senior Quantity Surveyor - Candidate Requirements:
Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or a related construction discipline
Strong UK PQS, cost consultancy or development consultancy experience
MRICS qualified or actively working towards chartership
Proven experience managing projects through pre- and post-contract stages
Good knowledge of JCT contracts and UK procurement methods
Strong commercial judgement and client-facing communication skills
Comfortable managing multiple commissions with limited supervision
In Return:
£70,000 - £75,000 per annum
London-based position
High level of project ownership and client exposure
Varied residential, commercial and mixed-use workload
Close involvement in development-led projects
Excellent long-term progression opportunities
