Senior Quantity Surveyor / Team Leader

Location:

Ely

A leading construction consultancy, offering quantity surveying and project management support directly to clients, are looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor / Team Leader to join their Ely office.

The consultancy delivers quantity surveying and project management services across a diverse portfolio of projects, working with a broad range of clients across the commercial, residential, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, entertainment and infrastructure sectors.

The business has built a strong reputation for delivering complex and high-profile projects, and this is an opportunity to join an experienced team where you will have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, develop client relationships and play an important role in the continued growth of the business.

The Role
The successful candidate will work across a varied portfolio of projects, with the role weighted towards post-contract quantity surveying, alongside opportunities to be involved in pre-contract work.

You will be responsible for:

Managing quantity surveying commissions from inception through to completion.
Leading post-contract cost management and commercial delivery.
Preparing and reviewing cost plans, valuations, variations, final accounts and commercial reports.
Providing strategic commercial and quantity surveying advice to clients.
Managing relationships with clients, contractors and wider project teams.
Working across a diverse range of sectors and project types.
Supporting less experienced members of the team and sharing technical knowledge.
Contributing to the continued development of the office and wider business.
Maintaining high standards of service and professional delivery across all projects.

About You
We're looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor who is comfortable operating within a consultancy environment and enjoys working across different project types and sectors.
You will ideally have:

Strong experience as a Quantity Surveyor within a consultancy.
Solid pre- and post-contract experience, particularly post-contract.
A broad sector background.
Strong technical and commercial knowledge.
Excellent communication and client management skills.
The ability to take ownership of projects and work with a high degree of autonomy.
The ambition to progress and take on additional responsibility within a growing consultancy.

Chartered status is not essential. The business actively supports employees who want to pursue chartership, including providing in-house training and financial assistance towards professional qualifications.

What You Can Expect

Competitive salary, negotiable on experience.
Flexible working.
A collaborative and approachable consultancy environment.
An exciting and varied project portfolio.
Genuine opportunities for professional development and progression.
Support towards chartership for those who want to pursue it.

The Opportunity
The business is continuing to grow and is looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor who wants more than simply delivering projects.

You'll have the opportunity to work on interesting and varied schemes, develop long-term client relationships and contribute to the continued success of the wider business.

If you are an experienced consultancy Quantity Surveyor looking for a role with variety, responsibility and genuine progression, we'd be keen to hear from you.
