Our client, an established contractor operating across the fit-out and refurbishment sector, is looking for a Lead Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team, taking ownership of a portfolio of smaller, fast-paced projects ranging from £250k to £2.5m.

• Protect margin and programme across a varied project mix

• Report into Commercial Director / senior management

What They're Looking For:

• Proven experience running your own projects as lead QS, ideally managing multiple simultaneously

• Background within fit-out or refurbishment

• Comfortable working across a range of smaller project values (£250k–£2.5m)

• Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills

• Degree-qualified (or equivalent experience)

On Offer:

• Up to £75,000 + benefits package

• City / Central London based

• Opportunity to build and lead your own project portfolio
