Substantial experience (ideally 8 years) in commercial / quantity surveying roles, especially in repairs & maintenance or planned works in social housing / public sector settings

Proven track record managing a small team of QSs and overseeing multiple contracts

Strong technical understanding of measurement, cost planning, valuations, variations, and contract law

Excellent financial acumen, analytical skills, and ability to manage risk

Experience in procurement, tendering, contract negotiation and supplier management

Strong communication and stakeholder management skills (you’ll liaise with clients, internal teams, contractors)

Confident, proactive, problem-solving mindset

Ability to work under pressure, multi-task, and deliver to deadlines

Degree or equivalent qualification in Quantity Surveying, Economics, Construction Management or related field (or membership of a professional body — RICS, CIOB, etc) is preferred

What You’ll Get / Benefits
Competitive salary up to £95,000, commensurate with experience

Extensive benefits package (including pension, private health, bonus or performance incentives, training & development, flexible benefits, etc)
