Description:
Senior Quantity Surveyor | Residential | SE LDN | (Salary up to £100,000)
Join a growing main contractor with a strong technical focus, delivering high-quality mixed-use and residential-led schemes across London. This role will see you take full commercial ownership of a flagship self-delivery project — a great platform for someone ready to step up into a lead commercial role.
You’ll be joining a collaborative and forward-thinking team, where your input genuinely shapes project outcomes and commercial strategy.
The Role
Take full commercial responsibility (design & build, self-delivery model)
• Manage procurement of materials and subcontractors from pre-construction through to final account
• Lead CVRs, forecasting, and cost reporting for the site
• Work closely with delivery and design teams to ensure smooth progress and cost control
• Provide technical insight and commercial leadership across the wider project team
What they’re looking for
Degree educated in Quantity Surveying or a construction-related discipline
• 7–10 years’ experience with a Tier 1, 2, or 3 main contractor
• Experience acting as the No.1 commercial lead on site
• Technically minded, detail-driven, and confident in problem-solving
• Background in self-delivery or mixed-use D&B projects preferred
• Not from a traditional housebuilding background
The Company
This is a progressive design and build contractor delivering technically challenging residential and mixed-use schemes across London and the South East. Led by experienced construction professionals, they combine the structure of a Tier 1 with the agility of a modern independent builder.
With a growing pipeline and an emphasis on technical delivery and commercial excellence, this is an opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its journey — where the right person can make a real impact.
Package
Salary up to £100,000 (flexible for the right candidate)
• Annual performance bonus
• Pension and private healthcare
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Genuine scope for progression into Commercial Manager as the business grows
