Senior Quantity Surveyor

I'm working with a growing specialist contractor that is investing heavily in its Pre-Construction division, with a significant pipeline of projects across the South.

They're now looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join the commercial team and work closely with the Commercial Manager across a growing portfolio of projects. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than just managing the commercial side of individual schemes. The role will also give you the opportunity to lead, mentor and develop junior commercial staff, while helping shape the processes and standards of a growing division.

The Role

As a Senior Quantity Surveyor within the Pre-Construction team, you'll take responsibility for the commercial management and performance of your allocated projects, working closely with the Commercial Manager and wider pre-construction team.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing the commercial performance of allocated projects

Producing and reviewing CVRs

Cost management and cost planning

Managing the tendering process

Reviewing and leading tender adjudications

Monitoring commercial performance and delegated authorities

Reviewing commercial information produced by the wider team

Working closely with the Commercial Manager on commercial governance and reporting

Supporting and developing Assistant Quantity Surveyors, Graduates and Apprentices

Providing leadership, guidance and commercial direction to less experienced members of the team

Helping establish and improve commercial processes within the growing division

About You
