East Midlands / Nottingham
£50,000 £60,000 + £6,452 Car Allowance + Fuel Card + Bonus up to 25%
Are you an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor, Quantity Surveyor or Project QS with a strong background in planned works, social housing, refurbishment or property services?
This is an opportunity to join a well-established national property services business where the plan is clear: bring in an experienced Planned Works Quantity Surveyor, give them ownership of a strong regional workload, and develop them into a Lead Surveyor as the branch continues to grow.
If you are looking for more responsibility, genuine progression and the chance to work closely with both commercial and operational leadership, this is a role worth considering.
The Opportunity
You will initially take commercial responsibility for a portfolio of planned maintenance and refurbishment programmes, including:
- Kitchen and bathroom programmes
- Roofing programmes
- Window and door replacement
- Planned maintenance and improvement works
- Refurbishment projects across occupied properties
You will manage the commercial performance of projects from start through to completion, working closely with operational teams, subcontractors and branch management.
Your Responsibilities
As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will be responsible for:
- Commercial management of planned works programmes
- Cost control, forecasting and financial reporting
- Preparing and reviewing CVRs
- Valuations and applications for payment
- Managing variations and commercial risk
- Subcontractor procurement and account management
- Monitoring project margins and identifying opportunities to improve profitability
- Supporting tendering, pricing and commercial submissions
- Working closely with Contracts Managers and operational teams
- Ensuring projects remain commercially controlled and financially accurate
- Supporting the wider growth and commercial performance of the East Midlands branch
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.
What We Are Looking For
This role will suit an experienced QS who has developed strong commercial judgement and understands the realities of delivering planned works in a live operational environment.
You will ideally have:
- Around 8-10 years Quantity Surveying experience
- Strong experience within planned works or planned maintenance
- Experience with kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, windows, doors or similar programmes
- Experience within social housing, property services, refurbishment or a comparable environment
- Strong CVR, forecasting and cost-control experience
- Experience managing valuations, variations and subcontractor accounts
- Good commercial awareness and attention to detail
- Confidence working directly with operational and senior management teams
- A recognised Quantity Surveying qualification
- Full UK driving licence
We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate stability and longevity within previous roles and who are looking for a long-term move rather than a short-term stepping stone.
Salary & Benefits
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- £50,000 £60,000 salary
- £6,452 car allowance
- £8,052 car allowance through the electric vehicle salary-sacrifice option
- Fuel card
- Bonus opportunity up to 25%
- 23 days holiday
- Holiday buy and sell scheme
- Company sick pay
- Pension
- Life assurance
- Health and wellbeing benefits
- Ongoing training and professional development
- Strong internal career progression
The bonus is linked to both branch turnover and business performance / KPI targets, giving you clear visibility of how the branch is performing throughout the year.
Genuine Progression
This is one of the strongest reasons to consider the role.
The intention is for the successful candidate to progress through:
- Planned Works Quantity Surveyor
- Lead Surveyor
- Branch / Regional Opportunities
The business has a strong record of promoting from within and is looking for someone who wants to grow with the East Midlands operation.
Why This Role Stands Out
For an experienced QS, this role offers more than simply managing another portfolio of planned works.
You will be joining a growing branch where you can influence commercial performance, work closely with decision-makers and position yourself for the next step into a Lead Surveyor role.
If you are an experienced Quantity Surveyor, Senior Quantity Surveyor, Project Quantity Surveyor, Planned Works QS, Social Housing QS or Commercial Surveyor looking for progression in the East Midlands, we would be very interested in speaking with you.
