Senior Quantity Surveyor

Senior Quantity Surveyor / Commercial Manager

Location: London / South East - flexible hybrid working with regular site travel

Remuneration: Attractive salary + car allowance + discretionary bonus + benefits

Our client is a well-established, highly regarded, successful and profitable privately owned main contractor working with major blue-chip customers across commercial construction, distribution / logistics, industrial, refurbishment and retail projects.

With significant secured work and a strong pipeline of further opportunities, they are now seeking to add an experienced commercial construction professional to their team, reporting directly to the Commercial Director.

The precise title will reflect the successful individual's experience. We are particularly interested in experienced Quantity Surveyors, Senior Quantity Surveyors and Commercial Managers capable of taking autonomous commercial responsibility for projects and developing strong relationships with clients and delivery teams.

Current and prospective work spans a broad range of project types and values, from multiple smaller customer projects and refurbishments through to substantial new-build and redevelopment schemes.

The Role

Take commercial ownership of projects from initial stages through to completion, including:

• Cost planning, budgeting and commercial reporting
• Procurement, tendering and subcontractor management
• CVRs, valuations and variations
• Contract administration, including JCT / Design & Build / NEC
• Value engineering and commercial risk management
• Client and stakeholder liaison
• Final accounts
• Working closely with operational and project delivery teams
• Supporting and mentoring less experienced commercial colleagues where appropriate

Person Profile

The successful individual is likely to:

• Have substantial Quantity Surveying / commercial management experience within construction
• Have a strong main contractor background
• Be capable of commercially managing projects with a high degree of autonomy
• Bring experience from one or more relevant sectors such as commercial construction, industrial / logistics, distribution, refurbishment or retail
• Be commercially astute with strong procurement, cost control and contractual capability
• Be credible and confident when dealing directly with clients and other stakeholders
• Be comfortable working flexibly between home, project sites and periodic team / office meetings
• Be willing to travel regularly to sites across London, the South East and elsewhere as projects require

Retail experience, including fit-out or refurbishment, would be advantageous but is not essential. Breadth of construction experience, commercial capability and the ability to become productive quickly are more important.

The culture and working environment are important attractions. The successful individual will work closely with an experienced, pragmatic Commercial Director, enjoying considerable autonomy alongside his support.

Future career prospects are positive, with the opportunity to broaden the role and potentially take on greater team leadership responsibility as the commercial function and wider business continue to grow.

Remuneration

An attractive and flexible package is available to secure the right person, including competitive basic salary, car allowance, discretionary annual bonus and benefits.
