Job description

We're working with a leading contractor who is seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team on a major town centre regeneration programme. This is a substantial, multiyear scheme offering long-term stability and the chance to step into a pivotal commercial role on a highprofile project.
 
The Opportunity
 
You'll be joining the project at an important phase, with construction running through to December 2026 and commercial close-out extending into early 2027. The successful candidate will benefit from a structured handover and ongoing support from the existing Senior QS, who will be transitioning into a wider oversight role across multiple projects.
 
This setup ensures you'll have access to detailed project knowledge, clear guidance, and a smooth onboarding process-while still giving you the autonomy expected of a senior-level commercial lead.
 
What You'll Be Doing
 
- Taking ownership of key commercial responsibilities across the project.
- Managing daytoday commercial delivery, including valuations, forecasting, reporting, and subcontract management.
- Supporting change control processes and ensuring accurate commercial substantiation.
- Working closely with internal teams and client stakeholders to maintain strong commercial governance.
 
What We're Looking For
 
- Proven experience operating at Senior QS level within construction or infrastructure.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
- A proactive, organised approach with the ability to manage workload effectively.
- Confidence working within established commercial processes and delivering accurate, timely reporting.
 
Rates are dependent on experience. OUTSIDE IR35 LTD route is an option here.
