Senior and Assistant Quantity Surveyor

Job Description:

Senior Quantity Surveyor / Assistant Quantity Surveyor – Multidisciplinary Consultancy – Belfast

HAYS Property & Surveying NI is proudly working in collaboration with a progressive and well‑established multidisciplinary consultancy, known for delivering high‑quality cost management and project delivery services across commercial, residential, healthcare, education and public‑sector developments. The organisation is expanding within Northern Ireland and is seeking a Senior and Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join its Belfast office.

The client has significant exposure to private‑sector and commercial projects. Some current and recent commissions in which staff are involved include:

• New hotel development (approx. £13m), appointed as Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor.
• New city‑centre hotel project (£12‑£20m depending on the client’s option), appointed as Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor.
• New aparthotel development (approx. £18m), appointed as Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor.
• Hospitality project incorporating guest rooms (approx. £3m), appointed as Project Manager.
• Regeneration and refurbishment project for a private client (approx. £4m), appointed as Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor.

In this role, you will support and lead cost management services across a diverse portfolio of construction projects, working from the earliest feasibility stages through to procurement, contract administration, cost control and final account delivery. You will prepare accurate cost plans, conduct measurement and BOQs, advise on procurement strategies, and ensure robust financial management across all project stages. You will also liaise with clients, design teams and contractors to provide clear and commercially astute guidance to help drive best‑value outcomes.

Depending on your experience, you may take full responsibility for your own projects or work closely with senior colleagues on more complex schemes, with structured support available to help you build confidence and progress towards senior‑level duties. The position offers strong exposure to a wide variety of sectors and an opportunity to develop both your technical expertise and client‑facing skills within a respected consultancy environment.

You will bring solid experience as a Quantity Surveyor within the construction or built‑environment sector, ideally within a consultancy setting; contractor‑side experience is also considered. You should have a good understanding of cost planning, tender processes, contract administration and financial reporting, and the ability to manage deadlines and work methodically across several live projects. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will frequently collaborate with clients, design teams and external partners.

Professional accreditation such as RICS chartership, or progress toward it, would be highly advantageous. The organisation actively supports candidates on the pathway to chartership and encourages ongoing professional development. Above all, you will be driven, detail‑oriented and commercially minded, confident in representing the consultancy professionally and contributing to the strength of client relationships.

You will join a growing consultancy that offers a competitive salary, a flexible benefits package and excellent opportunities for career advancement. The organisation promotes a supportive working culture, invests heavily in professional development and provides exposure to a broad and varied workload. You will become part of a modern and collaborative team where your contribution is valued, and your progression is prioritised.
