Quantity Surveyor (Fit Out & Refurbishment)

3–5 years’ experience | £50k–£3m projects | Office + Site | Real career progression

Ready for your next step

If you’ve already got a couple of years under your belt in Quantity Surveying (or a similar commercial role) and you’re looking for a role where you can step up, take ownership, and keep developing, this could be a great move.

We’re a medium-sized Principal Contractor specialising in high-quality fit out and refurbishment projects, working directly with a wide range of clients – Including the Royal Opera House, Harrow Boys School and other prestigious organisations, alongside leading architects and consultants.

As part of our controlled and exciting growth, we’re looking for a bright, ambitious Quantity Surveyor to join our commercial team. You’ll be involved in both pre-contract tendering and post-contract commercial management, giving you a well-rounded role and the chance to genuinely grow your skillset.

This is a position for someone who wants to be part of a team where you’re trusted, supported, and given real responsibility – not just stuck doing the same tasks on repeat.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work across projects typically ranging from £50k to £3m, helping drive both commercial performance and project success.

Key responsibilities include:

Supporting tender preparation through site visits and surveys, identifying challenges, risks, and opportunities for value engineering
Helping to manage and control project risk, including tender qualifications and ensuring risks are managed through mitigation/avoidance where possible
Assisting with the preparation and pricing of schedules of work, Bills of Quantities, and specifications
Breaking projects into trade packages and securing the best supply chain support through subcontractor and supplier tendering
Completing tender comparisons and analysis, and making recommendations on procurement decisions
Assisting with cash flow forecasting on secured projects
Visiting sites to understand the works and see projects progress from start to finish

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is keen to progress, enjoys being part of a team, and wants to build a long-term career.

Around 3–5 years’ experience in a Quantity Surveying / commercial role (ideally within construction)
A construction/surveying qualification is beneficial – but attitude, drive and willingness to learn matter just as much
Strong communication skills and confidence dealing with suppliers, clients, and internal teams
Organised, proactive, and committed to delivering high-quality work

What you’ll get in return

We offer a strong package and a clear path to progress:

Competitive salary
Company vehicle
Pension contributions
Healthcare package
Death in service insurance
Bonus scheme up to 10% of salary
Funded further education and training
A supportive team environment with real opportunities to grow as the company expands
