Linum Consult is supporting an established specialist contractor with the appointment of an experienced Managing Quantity Surveyor to join its growing UK operation.
This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially strong QS who enjoys working on technically demanding construction projects rather than conventional volume building.
Our client specialises in the delivery of complex healthcare environments, including hospital refurbishments, diagnostic and imaging facilities, clinical spaces and specialist medical fit-outs. Projects are frequently undertaken within live operational environments, requiring careful commercial management, close collaboration with project teams and a strong understanding of specialist subcontract packages.
The Role
Working closely with the operational and commercial teams, you will take commercial responsibility for projects from procurement through to final account.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Commercial management of specialist construction and refurbishment projects
- Subcontractor procurement, negotiation and management
- Preparation and management of valuations, variations and change
- Cost forecasting, reporting and project financial control
- Identification and management of commercial and contractual risk
- Managing applications for payment and final accountsWorking closely with Project Managers, clients, consultants and specialist subcontractors
- Supporting projects from pre-construction through delivery and close-out
About You
We are particularly interested in speaking with Quantity Surveyors who have a main contractor or specialist contractor background.
Ideally, you will bring:
- Significant experience as a Quantity Surveyor / Senior Quantity Surveyor
- Strong commercial experience within construction, refurbishment or specialist fit-out
- Experience of healthcare, hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical, cleanroom or other technically demanding environments would be particularly attractive
- Good knowledge of JCT contracts
- Strong subcontract procurement and commercial management experience
- Confidence managing variations, valuations, cost reporting and final accounts
- The ability to operate autonomously while working closely with operational teams
Previous healthcare experience would be advantageous, but we are equally interested in commercially strong QSs from high-specification, technically complex refurbishment or fit-out environments.
Why Consider It?
This isn't a volume construction role.
You'll be joining a specialist business delivering technically challenging projects where the Senior QS has genuine commercial influence and works closely with senior management.
The company combines the feel and autonomy of a specialist contractor with the financial strength and international backing of a major construction group, offering both stability and excellent scope for future development.
