Our client, a leading main contractor, is looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor - or a Commercial Manager for the right candidate - to join their team on a landmark life science facility at One North Quay, Canary Wharf.
You'll take ownership of commercial management on a high-profile life science build, working closely with the operational team to protect and maximise contractual entitlements. Depending on experience, this role could suit someone ready to step up into a Commercial Manager position.
Key Responsibilities

* Maintain accurate records to support contractual entitlements
* Prepare and submit applications, securing payment and variations
* Manage subcontract accounts through to final account
* Monitor progress and provide accurate commercial reporting
* Support negotiation and settlement of the final account with the client
* For CM-level candidates: broader oversight of the commercial team and project commercial strategy
What We're Looking For
* Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within commercial/complex build environments
* Experience working on life science, laboratory, or high-specification technical builds is highly advantageous
* Degree/HNC level qualification and/or significant relevant experience
* Experience managing change and subcontract accounts
* Good working knowledge of JCT contracts, or bespoke contracts based on JCT principles
* Candidates with Commercial Manager-level experience are encouraged to apply and will be considered for a higher package
Salary & Benefits
* Salary negotiable, in line with similar senior commercial roles
* £300 per month car allowance (non-car, fixed)
* Travel allowance (details available from the hiring manager)
* Project bonus scheme (details available from the hiring manager)
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
* Pension with up to 8% employer contribution
* Private healthcare
* 24/7 employee assistance programme
* Flexible benefits and discounts
* Personal development programme
