Senior Quantity Surveyor

The Opportunity

</br>

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join a growing, independent Chartered Surveying consultancy with an established reputation across the care, retirement living, residential and healthcare sectors.

</br>

The business has ambitious growth plans, a strong pipeline of secured projects and works with a range of leading care operators, developers and organisations across the UK.

</br>

This role would suit a Senior QS who enjoys taking ownership of projects and client relationships while working within a smaller, entrepreneurial consultancy where there is genuine opportunity to influence the future growth of the business.

</br>

The Role

</br>

You will take responsibility for the commercial and cost management delivery of projects from initial feasibility and cost planning through procurement, construction and final account.

</br>

Projects will predominantly sit within the care home, retirement living and wider residential/multi-bed sectors, including both new-build and refurbishment schemes.

</br>

You will work directly with clients, contractors and project teams, providing commercially focused advice throughout the development lifecycle.

</br>

Typical responsibilities will include:

</br>

• </br>
• Full pre and post-contract Quantity Surveying services
• </br>
• Feasibility studies, estimating and cost planning
• </br>
• Procurement and tender management
• </br>
• Contract administration and commercial reporting
• </br>
• Valuations, variations and final accounts
• </br>
• Working closely with developers, operators and project teams
• </br>
• Managing multiple projects and client relationships
• </br>
• Supporting junior members of the team where required
• </br>
• Identifying opportunities for repeat and new business
• </br>

</br>

Ideally, you will have:

</br>

• </br>
• Consultancy / PQS experience
• </br>
• Experience within care homes, retirement living or senior living
• </br>
• Alternatively, strong multi-bed residential experience such as apartments, BTR, PBSA, hotels or similar development-led projects
• </br>
• Strong pre and post-contract experience
• </br>
• The ability to manage projects and clients independently
• </br>
• Good commercial awareness and a client-facing approach
• </br>
• MRICS would be advantageous but is not essential
• </br>

</br>

Sector knowledge is important, but the business is equally interested in someone with the right multi-bed development experience and commercial mindset who can transfer their skills into the care and retirement market.

</br>

Package

</br>

£55,000 – £70,000 basic salary, depending on experience, plus a competitive benefits package.

</br>

Importantly, there is also a 10% new business bonus, providing genuine financial reward for individuals who use their network and relationships to introduce and develop new opportunities.

</br>

Why Join?

</br>

This is an opportunity to join a growing independent consultancy rather than simply become another person within a large corporate structure.

</br>

You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with the senior leadership team, take ownership of projects and clients, and play a visible role in the continued growth of the business.

</br>

For someone looking for greater autonomy, client exposure and the opportunity to be commercially rewarded for helping grow a consultancy, this represents an excellent next step.
