Experience working on larger-scale projects is preferred, with candidates from major contractors and Tier 1 backgrounds particularly encouraged to apply. However, the business is more interested in your capability and the projects you have successfully delivered than simply the name on your CV.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor in West London to join a stable, privately owned contractor during a period of significant growth, with long-term project security and genuine opportunity to progress as the business continues to expand.
