Senior Quantity Surveyor - Cambridge

A growing construction consultancy in Cambridge is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to take a leading role across a diverse portfolio of projects. Working across the commercial, retail, residential, leisure and education sectors, this is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor who enjoys variety and wants to take greater ownership of project delivery.

The successful Senior Quantity Surveyor will manage commissions from initial feasibility and cost planning through procurement, construction and final account. The Senior Quantity Surveyor will work closely with clients, architects, contractors and wider project teams, providing clear commercial advice while ensuring costs, risks and contractual matters are properly controlled.

This position would suit a confident Senior Quantity Surveyor with strong UK consultancy experience who can manage projects independently and build trusted client relationships. With a broad workload across several sectors, the Senior Quantity Surveyor will have the opportunity to work on different project types rather than being limited to one specialist market, while also supporting junior colleagues and contributing to the wider development of the team.
