This is an urgent interim requirement for an experienced Quantity Surveyor who can become productive quickly and work with a high degree of independence.
We are specifically looking for candidates who have worked within a specialist subcontractor environment and understand the full commercial lifecycle of projects, from pre-contract and procurement through variations, valuations and ultimately final account.
Experience within high-end interiors, bespoke joinery, specialist fit-out, furniture, stone, architectural finishes or other design-led subcontract packages would be particularly relevant.
This role is less suited to someone whose experience has been entirely within a main contractor or general housebuilding environment without responsibility for commercially managing specialist packages.
Broadreach Recruitment is supporting a highly regarded specialist business delivering exceptional bespoke interior projects within the luxury residential and design-led construction market.
Due to immediate workload requirements, we are looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join the team on an interim basis. You'll be joining an established team but will need to be comfortable taking ownership quickly, getting underneath live projects and providing effective commercial support without requiring significant hand-holding.
The initial assignment is expected to be approximately three months, with the potential to extend depending on project requirements.
You will support and manage the commercial lifecycle of specialist projects, including:
- Commercial management from pre-contract through delivery and final account
- Reviewing project costs, budgets and commercial performance
- Managing change throughout the project lifecycle
- Supporting procurement and subcontractor appointments
- Reviewing contractual and commercial documentation
- Monitoring project expenditure against budget
- Working closely with Project Managers and delivery teams
- Liaising professionally with clients, consultants, contractors and suppliers
- Supporting negotiation and agreement of final accounts
- Identifying commercial risks and opportunities
- Maintaining clear and accurate commercial records
Requirements:
- Proven Quantity Surveying experience
- Ability to manage the full commercial lifecycle of projects
- Strong variations, valuations and final account experience
- Strong Excel and commercial reporting skills
- Able to join an existing project environment and become effective quickly
- Bespoke joinery
- Furniture and cabinetry
- Confident with clients and project teams
- Capable of working with minimal supervision
- Experience of complex, bespoke projects where drawings, specifications and client requirements evolve during delivery would be particularly valuable.
Contract Details:
- Ideally office-based 5 days per week, hybrid may be available
- Up to 2 days working from home may be considered where required
- Immediate / short-notice start strongly preferred
This is an urgent requirement and applications will be reviewed immediately. If you're an experienced Quantity Surveyor from a specialist subcontracting, bespoke interiors or high-end fit-out environment and are available at short notice, please apply with your CV.
