Senior Quantity Surveyor
CV-LibraryDartfordpermanentPosted: 15 September 2026
Apply NowI'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
We're looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor who is comfortable operating at Senior Quantity Surveyor and wants to take genuine ownership of their work.
You'll ideally have:
Strong experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor or Lead Quantity Surveyor
A strong commercial background within construction, property services, refurbishment or planned works
Experience across cost management, cost planning, tendering and CVRs
Experience managing the commercial performance of projects
The confidence to lead and develop junior commercial professionals
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
A proactive and hands-on approach
The ambition to develop within a growing business
If you're an experienced Senior QS looking for a role where you can take the next step, have genuine influence and help build something rather than simply maintain an established structure, I'd be keen to hear from you.
