Senior / Associate Quantity Surveyor Newcastle

A growing construction consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor or Associate Director to join its Newcastle Cost Management team following the internal promotion of an existing team member. This isn't a replacement hire because somebody has left. It's a newly created opportunity that reflects the continued growth of the business and provides the successful candidate with the chance to inherit an established workload, long-standing client relationships and an excellent pipeline of projects from day one.

The role is offered on a hybrid basis and the business is happy to consider candidates based across the North East and surrounding regions who can travel to Newcastle as required. Your initial focus will include supporting a major healthcare client, although previous healthcare experience isn't essential. The business is far more interested in finding an accomplished consultancy Quantity Surveyor with strong client-facing skills, excellent commercial judgement and the ability to build trusted long-term relationships.

The Role

• Working as part of an established Cost Management team, you'll lead projects from inception through to final account, providing commercially focused advice across a varied programme of real estate projects.
• You'll inherit an established client portfolio, taking ownership of project delivery whilst supporting junior colleagues and helping maintain the high standards the consultancy has become known for.
• Your responsibilities will include:
• Delivering the full range of pre- and post-contract Quantity Surveying services.
• Preparing cost plans, procurement documentation and tender reports.
• Managing valuations, variations and final accounts.
• Acting as the day-to-day commercial adviser to key client accounts.
• Building trusted long-term relationships with clients and professional teams.
• Mentoring and developing junior Quantity Surveyors.
• Working collaboratively with Project Managers and Building Surveyors across multidisciplinary teams.

About You

I'm keen to speak with experienced consultancy Quantity Surveyors who enjoy taking ownership of projects and building lasting client relationships. You'll ideally have:

• Consultancy or client-side Quantity Surveying experience.
• Strong client-facing and communication skills.
• Experience delivering projects from feasibility through to final account.
• Excellent commercial awareness and contract knowledge.
• Experience mentoring or supporting junior team members.
• MRICS, or be making strong progress towards chartership.
• Healthcare experience would certainly be beneficial, but it isn't essential. Candidates with strong consultancy experience across other real estate sectors will receive equal consideration.

Why Apply?

This is a genuinely attractive opportunity for an experienced Quantity Surveyor who enjoys working closely with clients but doesn't want to be measured against business development targets. You'll inherit an established workload, become the trusted adviser to long-standing clients and join a collaborative Newcastle office of around 12–15 professionals where quality of delivery is valued above winning work. The consultancy continues to invest heavily in its people, and has ambitious growth plans across the UK. The business offers genuine flexibility and hybrid working. Whilst the role is based within the Newcastle office, candidates living across the North East and surrounding regions will be considered, making this an attractive opportunity for those looking to reduce commuting without compromising on career progression.

Salary & Benefits

£55,000–£75,000 basic salary (Associate level towards the upper end of the range). Comprehensive benefits package. Hybrid and flexible working. Professional development and APC support where required. Clear long-term career progression.
