Quantity Surveyor

Quantity Surveyor | Residential Scheme | NW London | Freelance or Permanent
 
I’m working directly with a contractor who are looking to appoint a QS for a £6m new-build residential scheme in North West London.
 
This is a hands-on role within a smaller business delivering projects under a construction management procurement route, acting as Principal Contractor with their own site team managing package procurement and delivery on behalf of the client.
 
The Role
• Commercial management of a £6m residential new build scheme
• Managing subcontract procurement, valuations, variations and final accounts
• Working closely with site management and client teams
• Supporting project delivery from live construction through completion
• Opportunity to operate independently with genuine ownership of the job
 
What they’re looking for
• Quantity Surveyor with strong main contractor and/or developer-contractor background
• Ideally 5+ years’ experience
• Someone practical, hands-on and commercially reliable
• Comfortable running smaller projects independently
• More suited to someone from a leaner contractor environment rather than heavily layered Tier 1 structures
 
The Business
• Design-led contractor delivering residential and mixed-use projects
• Acting as Principal Contractor on this scheme under a construction management arrangement
• Flexible on freelance or permanent
• Salary guide around c£80k with flexibility for the right person
• Able to wait for notice periods or move quickly for the right hire
 
Good opportunity for someone who enjoys autonomy, close project involvement and operating within a smaller, delivery-focused contractor.
