Managing Quantity Surveyor

Managing Quantity Surveyor

Up to £85,000 £ 6,500 car allowance 10% bonus hybrid working

I’m working with a well-established contractor to recruit a Managing Quantity Surveyor to join their Midlands team.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Senior QS looking to take the next step into management, or an established Managing QS looking for a new challenge.

You’ll oversee the commercial management of multiple refurbishment and planned works schemes, whilst managing and supporting a team of 2–3 Quantity Surveyors.

Projects include kitchens and bathrooms, windows and doors, roofing, fire stopping and smaller conversion works, working with local authority clients.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing the commercial management of multiple refurbishment schemes.
• Managing CVRs, valuations, forecasting and overall cost control.
• Monitoring project performance, identifying commercial risks and protecting profitability.
• Managing subcontractor accounts, variations and final accounts.
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and internal stakeholders.
• Ensuring commercial reporting is accurate and projects are performing in line with agreed budgets.
• Working closely with the wider team to ensure the successful commercial delivery of projects.

I’m keen to speak with either an established Managing QS or a strong Senior QS who is ready to step up and take on more responsibility.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Experience working for a contractor within social housing, or local authority contracts
• Experience with projects such as kitchens and bathrooms, roofing, windows and doors, fire stopping or similar works.
• Strong commercial experience, particularly around CVRs, valuations, forecasting and cost control.
• The ability to manage multiple schemes at once while maintaining strong commercial oversight.
• The confidence to manage, support and develop a small team of Quantity Surveyors.
• Experience working with public sector or local authority clients would be advantageous, particularly within a refurbishment environment.
