CR SMITH
Senior Quantity Surveyor
Dunfermline | Permanent | Full-time
Take commercial ownership of major contracts with one of Scotland's most recognised brands.
Genuine autonomy, direct access to senior leadership and a clear opportunity to influence a growing commercial function.
CR Smith is one of the UK's largest home improvement companies, with a highly recognisable brand synonymous with quality and service. Rated Excellent on Trustpilot, with more than 6,000 reviews, and voted best in the UK within our sector by Which?, customer experience is at the heart of everything we do.
As our work across the New Build, Social Housing and Commercial sectors continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our expanding Commercial Team at our Head Office in Dunfermline.
Reporting directly to the Head of Commercial, you will take ownership of significant contracts across Scotland and Northern England, while contributing to commercial decision-making, project delivery and business improvement.
Exceptional Salary & Benefits Package
We believe exceptional people deserve exceptional rewards. In return for your expertise, we offer:
✓ Highly competitive salary
✓ Cash car allowance
✓ 31 days paid annual leave
✓ Comprehensive private healthcare
✓ Company pension contribution
✓ Dedicated in-office GP access
✓ Subsidised freshly cooked meals at our staff bistro
✓ Structured induction and mentoring
✓ Professional development and mentoring
✓ Excellent career progression
✓ Staff discounts on the Lorimer range
✓ Long-term stability with an established brand
✓ Our healthcare and wellbeing plan also includes discounts on selected gym memberships, fitness technology, sportswear, bikes and golf products.
The Role
This is more than a traditional quantity surveying position. You will take commercial ownership of key contracts from mobilisation through to final account, working closely with clients, senior management and operational teams.
* Manage commercial performance across multiple contracts.
* Prepare and agree valuations, variations and final accounts.
* Lead contract mobilisation, negotiation and subcontractor procurement.
* Produce cost forecasts, budgets and commercial reports.
* Build strong relationships with clients, the supply chain and key stakeholders.
* Support commercial best practice and continuous improvement.
About You
You will ideally be degree-qualified in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline, with experience managing commercial contracts within the construction sector.
* Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills.
* Confident communication and stakeholder management abilities.
* The ability to manage multiple contracts and priorities effectively.
* A proactive, collaborative approach and a desire to make a genuine impact.
Experience in new build, social housing, commercial construction, windows and doors, or the building envelope would be advantageous but is not essential. Full training will be provided on CR Smith systems and proprietary software.
Why CR Smith?
You will join a successful business with ambitious growth plans, a strong market reputation and a growing pipeline of work. You will have the autonomy to make decisions, the support to succeed and the opportunity to help shape the future of an expanding Commercial Team.
