Senior Quantity Surveyor
Join a young, growing contractor delivering technically challenging refurbishment, retrofit, and heritage-led projects across London and the South East.
This is a design-conscious, commercially focused contractor working across cut & carve, retrofit, fit-out, and heritage schemes — spanning public sector, residential, and commercial projects typically ranging from £100k to £5m.
This is not a corporate, process-heavy environment. It’s a smaller business where QSs are trusted, given autonomy, and encouraged to take ownership — with strong senior support in place.
They’re currently delivering works at the Natural History Museum, alongside a £3m student accommodation scheme in Camberwell, with multiple projects running concurrently.
The Role
Working under a Commercial Director across 2–3 live projects
Supporting full commercial delivery: procurement, valuations, variations, CVRs, and cost reporting
Exposure to cut & carve refurbishments, retrofit schemes, fit-outs, and heritage projects
Involvement from early-stage through to final accounts
Office-based role with flexibility and site visits as required (no rigid attendance model)
Opportunity to grow into greater responsibility as the business scales
What they’re looking for
Senior Quantity Surveyor (or Intermediate QS ready for a step up)
Main contractor background preferred
Experience in refurbishment, fit-out, retrofit, or heavy refurb environments
Comfortable working across multiple projects simultaneously
Commercially sound, curious, and keen to develop under a Senior QS
The Company
They are a modern contractor delivering technically demanding refurbishment and heritage projects, including:
Cut & carve refurbishments
Retrofit & fabric upgrades
Fit-out & internal reconfiguration
Public sector & cultural buildings
Residential & mixed-use schemes
A good fit for someone who wants variety, autonomy, and progression rather than being boxed into a single repetitive project type.
