The Role
• Full commercial management of residential and self-storage projects (£210m)
• Prepare and manage construction budgets and allocate costs across work packages
• Procure subcontractors, plant, and materials, and assist in consultant procurement

• Lead on final accounts for both client and subcontractors
• Provide commercial input on design development and value engineering
• Attend and contribute to design and pre-construction meetings
• Produce weekly commercial summaries for review with the Chief Executive
• Prepare build budgets and tenders for upcoming projects, including estimating input

What they're looking for
• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor (main contractor or developer)
• Background in residential, commercial, or light industrial projects
• Strong understanding of procurement, cost control, and contract administration
• Confident managing multiple live projects and tight deadlines independently
• Commercially astute, technically capable, and comfortable reporting at director level

The Company
This is a long-established design & build contractor based in Hertfordshire, delivering self-storage, commercial, and mixed-use developments across London and the surrounding counties.

The business combines practical construction expertise with strong technical and design capability, operating a hands-on, director-led model that values autonomy, initiative, and quality delivery.

With several new projects launching, this is an excellent time to join a growing team in a commercially critical role.

• Contributory pension and health plan
