We are looking for an experienced Estimator / Quantity Surveyor with a proven background in commercial fit-out to take ownership of both pre-construction estimating and live project commercial management. This is not an entry-level role - we are specifically seeking someone confident running projects commercially from tender stage through to final account.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare accurate, competitive tenders for interior fit-out projects
- Interpret drawings, specs, and BOQs with minimal supervision
- Source and analyse subcontractor & supplier packages
- Manage project budgets, cost reporting, and forecasting
- Handle valuations, variations, and change control
- Take projects through to final account agreement
- Support procurement and commercial negotiations
- Liaise with clients, PMs, designers, and external QS teams
What We Need (Essential)
- 3+ years experience in a QS / Estimator role within fit-out or interiors
- Demonstrable experience managing projects commercially end-to-end
- Strong understanding of fit-out packages (joinery, M&E, finishes, etc.)
- Ability to price from drawings without heavy hand-holding
- Experience with variations, valuations, and final accounts
- High level of commercial awareness and attention to detail
- Strong Excel and estimating software skills
Desirable
- Relevant qualification (QS, Construction Management, or similar)
- Experience working with retail or fast-track fit-out programmes
What This Role Is NOT
- Not a trainee or assistant position
- Not purely estimating or purely QS - this is a dual-role position
- Not suitable for candidates without fit-out/interiors experience
