The Opportunity
Hill McGlynn are currently working with an established construction consultancy who are looking to appoint an experienced Project Senior Quantity Surveyor as part of an exciting expansion into Essex.
The initial location is listed as Chelmsford; however, this is not an exact office location. The business is looking to establish a new office in Essex, and the final location can be flexible depending on the successful candidate and the requirements of the business.
 
This represents an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor who is confident working independently and taking ownership of their workload, while playing an important role in establishing and developing a new regional presence.
 
You will provide high-quality commercial and cost-management advice throughout the project lifecycle, working directly with clients, contractors and consultants across a varied portfolio of construction and property projects.
As the office develops, there will also be opportunities to support and mentor junior Surveyors and contribute to the continued growth of the team.
 
The business offers hybrid working, a 37.5-hour working week and flexible start times, alongside excellent opportunities for continued professional and career development.
A relevant construction or surveying degree is essential for this position.

As Project Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will take responsibility for the commercial and cost management of projects from initial feasibility through to completion and final account.

Key responsibilities will include:
 
Taking responsibility for Quantity Surveying and cost consultancy services across multiple projects.
Managing your own workload and projects with a high degree of autonomy.
Supporting the establishment and development of a new office presence in Essex.
Managing projects from feasibility and pre-construction through to completion and final account.

Preparing detailed cost reports and forecasts for clients.
Monitoring project expenditure against agreed budgets.
Managing and negotiating final accounts.
Identifying and managing commercial risks and opportunities.
Attending and leading client, design team and project meetings.
Developing strong relationships with clients, contractors, consultants and other project stakeholders.
Supporting, mentoring and developing Graduate and Assistant Surveyors as the regional team grows.
Helping promote best practice and high professional standards across the business.  About You
