URGENT REQUIREMENT – PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING
We need an experienced Quantity Surveyor who can walk into a live specialist-project environment and become commercially effective quickly.
This is not an assignment for someone requiring significant supervision or looking to make their first move into specialist subcontracting.
We need someone who understands the full commercial lifecycle and can quickly establish:
- What was sold?
- What has been bought?
- What has changed?
- What has been delivered?
- What needs to be valued?
- And what still needs to be commercially recovered?
Experience within bespoke joinery, luxury interiors, high-end fit-out, specialist subcontracting, or another design-led construction package would be particularly valuable.
The Assignment
Broadreach Recruitment is supporting an internationally focused luxury interiors business with an immediate requirement for an experienced Interim Quantity Surveyor.
You'll join an established team and provide additional commercial capability across live projects involving highly bespoke, manufactured interior packages.
The initial requirement is expected to be approximately three months, with the potential to extend.
This assignment is about taking ownership and adding value quickly.
What You'll Be Taking On
Depending upon the stage of individual projects, you'll support commercial activity from pre-contract through delivery and final account.
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.
This will include:
- Reviewing live projects and establishing their current commercial position
- Managing project budgets and cost reports
- Preparing and reviewing valuations
- Managing applications for payment
- Identifying and pricing variations
- Establishing appropriate records for project changes
- Reviewing instructions and design development for commercial impact
- Monitoring committed and forecast expenditure
- Supporting procurement and subcontract management
- Identifying commercial risks and opportunities
- Working alongside Project Managers to improve project visibility
- Liaising with clients, consultants, contractors, and suppliers
- Supporting negotiation and agreement of final accounts
- Helping ensure legitimate additional costs are identified and recovered
The Environment
These aren't standard construction packages.
The business delivers individually designed luxury interiors incorporating bespoke joinery, furniture, and specialist materials.
Projects evolve.
Drawings change. Clients alter details. Materials develop. Site programmes move. Manufacturing has deadlines and installation teams need answers.
We therefore need a QS who understands that commercial management needs to happen as the project changes – not three months later when somebody starts looking for evidence.
Who We're Looking For
You'll ideally be an experienced QS or Commercial Manager from a specialist subcontracting environment.
Strong backgrounds could include:
- Bespoke joinery
- High-end residential interiors
- Interior fit-out
- Furniture or architectural millwork
- Stone
- Architectural metalwork
- Specialist finishes
- Other bespoke manufactured construction packages
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You should already be confident with:
- Variations
- Valuations
- Applications for payment
- Cost reporting
- Forecasting
- Commercial records
- Final accounts
- Client and contractor negotiations
You'll Need to Hit the Ground Running
This is the key difference with the permanent vacancy.
We're not expecting you to know the business on day one.
We are expecting you to know Quantity Surveying.
You'll need to be capable of picking up existing projects, interrogating the information available, asking the right questions, and establishing what needs attention without waiting for somebody to create a task list for you.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Commercially sharp
- Independent
- Pragmatic
- Organised
- Confident
- Detail-focused
- Comfortable challenging
Contract Details
- Initial term: Approximately 3 months
- Extension: Potential to roll on depending on requirements
- Location: Notting Hill, London
- Office: Ideally 5 days per week
- Flexibility: Up to 2 WFH days may be considered
- Start: ASAP / short notice strongly preferred
- Rate: Competitive day rate depending on experience
