Quantity Surveyor - Growing SME Consultancy, Central London
An exciting opportunity for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join a dynamic, growing project delivery team in central London.
The team brings together quantity surveyors, project managers, engineers and client-side cost and project management professionals, delivering a diverse range of projects across London and the wider UK - with live schemes spanning Residential, Co-Living and PBSA (from 50 to 500+ apartments), Industrial & Logistics, and commercial office. Projects range from £20m to £100m, covering both new-build and refurbishment, from feasibility through to practical completion.
This is a great opportunity for a QS looking to develop their career in a varied, forward-thinking environment. We're looking for someone full-time with a strong grounding in the living sector, cost planning and JCT contract administration. An immediate start is available.
The Role

You'll become a key point of contact within the project team, helping guide schemes from feasibility and cost planning through tendering, procurement, construction and practical completion.
