Project Quantity Surveyor / Cost Manager
West End London | Private Residential & Mixed-Sector Projects
A young, ambitious consultancy that has grown rapidly to a team of 50+ people is continuing to expand from its prime West End office, and they’re now looking to add a Project-level Quantity Surveyor / Cost Manager to the team.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build on their consultancy experience, take on more responsibility and work closely with clients, Senior QSs and Associate Directors within a business where progression is genuinely part of the plan.
The project portfolio is predominantly private residential, covering Co-Living, PBSA, Build-to-Rent, Industrial & Logistics, Education and Commercial schemes. Projects typically range from 50–500+ units, with values of around £20m to £100m+.
You’ll have exposure across the full project lifecycle, from early-stage cost planning through to delivery, including RIBA Stages 1–4, procurement and tendering, JCT Design & Build, interim valuations and payment notices, variations and change management, monthly cost reporting and cash-flow forecasting. There is also the opportunity to develop your knowledge of carbon management, with training provided.
The role comes with a clear route towards Senior QS, working alongside experienced Senior QSs and Associate Directors while progressively taking ownership of projects and client relationships.
They’re ideally looking for someone who is MRICS or actively working towards their APC, with consultancy cost management experience. That said, they are also very open to contractor-side QSs who are looking to make the move into consultancy. JCT experience is important, while residential new build would be a real bonus.
Strong commercial awareness and good Excel skills are essential, as is the confidence to communicate with clients and take ownership of your work.
Salary will be flexible depending on experience and MRICS status, with a strong and incentivising bonus scheme on top.
If you’re a Project QS or Cost Manager who is ready for more responsibility, better project exposure and a clear path to Senior level, I’d be very happy to have a confidential conversation.
