Senior Quantity Surveyor

Project Quantity Surveyor / Project Lead

Location: Waterloo, London (Office-based with site visits) Start Date: Immediate

The Role

We are looking for a proactive, high-energy Senior / Project Quantity Surveyor who does more than just "count the costs." We need a driver-someone who can take a project by the horns, manage design teams, and ensure delivery from inception to completion.

You won''t just be sitting behind a spreadsheet; you''ll be leading client meetings, managing the tender process, and navigating the nuances of JCT contracts. This role is perfect for a professional with 5+ years of experience who thrives in the -1m15m project bracket and wants to be a pivotal part of a growing team.

What You''ll Be Doing

• Procurement Lead: Managing the procurement of both Main Contractors and specialist Design Teams.

• Project Driving: Taking an active role in "project managing" your schemes to ensure momentum.

• Tender Management: Running the end-to-end tender process to appoint reliable contractors.

• Contract Administration: Applying a deep, practical knowledge of JCT contracts.

• Meeting Leadership: Confidently leading both design team and client-facing meetings.

Your Profile

• Experience: 5+ years in a similar role within the UK market. (Overseas experience is welcome, but your primary expertise must be UK-based).

• Project Scale: You feel at home managing projects in the -1m to -15m range. If your career has mostly been spent on -50m+ mega-projects, this likely isn''t the right fit.

• Technical Skills: Strong JCT knowledge is essential. RICS accreditation is not a requirement-we value your practical track record over letters after your name.

• Mindset: You are adaptable, motivated, and reliable. We are looking for someone who isn''t "set in their ways" and is eager to grow with our evolving processes.

Location & Work Style
