Assistant Quantity Surveyor | Prime Residential Contractor
Location: Chelsea, London
Salary: £35,000 - £45,000 + Package (Dependent on Experience)
Role Type: Permanent
The Opportunity
Are you a junior commercial professional looking to move away from general contracting and into the world of ultra prime construction?
We are representing a leading high-end residential contractor based in Chelsea who are synonymous with luxury. They specialize in the refurbishment of Grade I & II listed buildings and the construction of bespoke super-prime residences with project values reaching £15M+.
They are looking for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor who possesses a sharp commercial mind and the "high-end" eye for detail required for luxury finishes.
The Role
Working directly under a Commercial Manager, you will be mentored through the nuances of bespoke contracting. This isn't just about moving numbers on a spreadsheet; it's about managing artisan sub-contractors and sourcing specialist materials.
Your focus will include:
- Package Management: Handling high-value specialist packages (bespoke joinery, stone, home automation).
- Procurement: Negotiating with a niche supply chain.
- Commercial Support: Assisting with valuations, variations, and cost reporting.
- Contract Admin: Exposure to JCT forms of contract.
The Candidate
- Experience: Ideally 12 months+ experience with a main contractor or developer (though high-caliber Graduates with a strong placement year will be considered).
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and written English is non-negotiable given the client-facing nature of the role.
- Ambition: You should be eager to work toward your APC/RICS or further professional development.
- Local Knowledge: Ideally based within a reasonable commute of West London/Chelsea.
What's in it for you?
- A chance to build a portfolio of "trophy" projects in the most exclusive postcodes in the world.
- Direct mentorship and a clear progression path to QS level within 18-24 months.
- A professional, sophisticated office environment in the heart of Chelsea
