Managing Quantity Surveyor - Surrey
Linum Consult is supporting an established specialist contractor with the appointment of an experienced Managing Quantity Surveyor to join its growing UK operation.
This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially strong QS who enjoys working on technically demanding construction projects rather than conventional volume building.
Our client specialises in the delivery of complex healthcare environments, including hospital refurbishments, diagnostic and imaging facilities, clinical spaces, and specialist medical fit-outs. Projects are frequently undertaken within live operational environments, requiring careful commercial management, close collaboration with project teams, and a strong understanding of specialist subcontract packages.
The Role
Working closely with the operational and commercial teams, you will take commercial responsibility for projects from procurement through to final account.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Commercial management of specialist construction and refurbishment projects
- Subcontractor procurement, negotiation, and management
- Preparation and management of valuations, variations, and change
- Cost forecasting, reporting, and project financial control
- Identification and management of commercial and contractual risk
- Managing applications for payment and final accounts
- Working closely with Project Managers, clients, consultants, and specialist subcontractors
- Supporting projects from pre-construction through delivery and close-out
Reasons to use Rodeo

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.
About You
We are particularly interested in speaking with Quantity Surveyors who have a main contractor or specialist contractor background.
Ideally, you will bring:
- Significant experience as a Quantity Surveyor / Senior Quantity Surveyor
- Strong commercial experience within construction, refurbishment, or specialist fit-out
- Experience of healthcare, hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical, cleanroom, or other technically demanding environments would be particularly attractive
- Good knowledge of JCT contracts
- Strong subcontract procurement and commercial management experience
- Confidence managing variations, valuations, cost reporting, and final accounts
- The ability to operate autonomously while working closely with operational teams
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous healthcare experience would be advantageous, but we are equally interested in commercially strong QSs from high-specification, technically complex refurbishment or fit-out environments.
Why Consider It?
This isn't a volume construction role.
You'll be joining a specialist business delivering technically challenging projects where the Senior QS has genuine commercial influence and works closely with senior management.
The company combines the feel and autonomy of a specialist contractor with the financial strength and international backing of a major construction group, offering both stability and excellent scope for future development.
