Salary: £55,000-£70,000 + Car / Allowance + Package
We're supporting a growing contractor and housebuilder with an established development arm, known for delivering high-quality residential and mixed-tenure schemes across the region. Under new ownership and guided by a highly experienced senior leadership team, the business is entering a new phase of growth with a strong pipeline of housing and future medium- to large-scale mixed-use developments.
To support this expansion, we're looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor who can take full commercial ownership of projects, operate and help shape a modern, high-performing commercial function. This is a rare opportunity to join early, influence how the commercial team develops, and grow with a business that's building real momentum.
Key Responsibilities:
- Take full commercial ownership of residential and mixed-tenure schemes from pre-construction through to final account.
- Prepare and manage development budgets, cost plans, valuations, cost-to-completes and monthly cost reports.
- Lead procurement including scopes of work, tender packages, tender lists, subcontract tendering and contract documentation.
- Manage subcontractor accounts covering valuations, variations, payments, instructions, progress meetings and final accounts.
- Work closely with design and technical teams to ensure proposals align with budgets, buildability and value engineering opportunities.
- Identify and manage commercial risks and opportunities, proposing viable solutions that protect cost, quality and programme.
- Develop and maintain strong supply chain relationships, onboarding new subcontractors and involving them early in design.
- Provide regular site presence to monitor progress, validate spend and support the project team.
- Attend key project meetings including design team meetings, subcontractor progress meetings and internal commercial reviews.
- Manage client-side commercial elements, including valuing customer variations and preparing client extras quotations.
