About the Role and Company
A well-established Design & Build commercial fit-out specialist is seeking a Quantity Surveyor to take full commercial ownership of projects ranging from £500k to £5m. You will lead the commercial function on your projects; managing cost plans, procurement, valuations, change control, and final accounts while working closely with designers, PMs, and clients in a fast-paced D&B environment.
This role suits a QS who is confident running their own projects, enjoys client interaction, and can balance cost, programme, and quality without needing day-to-day oversight.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the commercial delivery of multiple D&B fit-out projects up to £5m, ensuring accuracy, profitability, and compliance.
- Produce detailed cost plans, BOQs, estimates, and budget forecasts aligned with design intent and client expectations.
- Lead tender processes, evaluate subcontractor packages, negotiate terms, and award contracts.
- Manage subcontractor performance, scope, variations, and progress across all relevant packages.
- Prepare and submit applications for payment; assess subcontractor valuations and certify payments.
- Maintain full ownership of variations, change logs, and commercial risk tracking.
- Produce CVRs, cashflow forecasts, and monthly commercial reports for senior leadership.
- Attend client meetings, present commercial updates, and maintain strong relationships throughout the project lifecycle.
- Manage contractual obligations under JCT D&B forms, ensuring compliance and clarity.
- Prepare, negotiate, and agree final accounts with clients and subcontractors.
