Lead Senior Quantity Surveyor – Fit-Out & Refurbishment
Central London | £80,000 – £125,000 + Package
Check out the role overview below. If you are confident you have got the right skills and experience, apply today.
Our client, an established main contractor operating across the fit-out and refurbishment sector, is seeking a Lead Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team in Central London.
This is a senior-level opportunity for an experienced QS to take ownership of the commercial function across a portfolio of smaller, fast-moving fit-out and refurbishment projects — rather than a single large scheme.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Full pre- and post-contract QS duties: cost planning, procurement, valuations, subcontractor accounts, final accounts
- Manage and mentor junior/assistant surveyors within the team
- Report directly to Commercial Director / senior leadership
- Liaise closely with clients, PMs, and site teams to protect margin and programme
- Oversee project profitability and cash flow across the project mix
