Building Surveyor Contract Full Time in London

We're Standage & Co, an established refurbishment Main Contractor based in Peckham, SE London. We're a relatively small team that likes to punch above its weight, and we're looking for a good, rounded Quantity Surveyor to join us. Our work is predominantly refurbishment and construction within existing buildings, across housing, education and commercial sectors. We're looking for someone with solid main-contractor refurbishment experience who is comfortable across both pre and post-contract work. Depending on what we're working on, you might be pricing and putting together a tender, procuring subcontract packages or commercially managing a live project through to final account. We want someone who enjoys the breadth of quantity surveying and understands the whole commercial journey of a project rather than being confined to one particular part of it. We're not going to give you a huge list of everything a QS does. If you're an experienced QS, you'll already have a pretty good idea. On the pre-contract side, you'll be involved in measuring and pricing works, building up rates, obtaining and reviewing subcontractor quotations, identifying risks and opportunities and helping us put together sensible, competitive tenders. On live projects, you'll be involved in procurement, valuations, variations, CVRs and forecasting, cost control, subcontract accounts, contractual matters and final accounts. You'll need relevant main-contractor refurbishment experience, be comfortable with JCT contracts and have the ability to measure, build up rates and genuinely price construction work. We're a small business with a fairly flat structure, so you'll work directly with our Contracts Managers and Directors rather than through layers of management.
