Senior Quantity Surveyor

A fast growing Cost Consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor to support a major data centre client, working across a global portfolio of complex, high-value projects. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Quantity Surveyor with a Consultancy / PQS background to join an established team, delivering client facing cost management and technical commercial advice on major data centre developments across the UK and internationally.

The role offers the opportunity to work closely with the client and wider project teams, providing strategic commercial input throughout the project lifecycle. Previous data centre experience is not essential; the consultancy is keen to speak with technically strong Quantity Surveyors with solid consultancy experience and the confidence to operate in an advisory capacity.

Working within an established Cost Management team, you will provide quantity surveying and commercial advisory services to a key data centre client, supporting projects across its international portfolio.

• Delivering pre and post-contract quantity surveying and cost management services.

• Confident communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience operating in a client facing environment.
• The ability to provide sound commercial advice and build effective relationships with clients and project teams.
• A proactive, collaborative approach and the confidence to work independently.

MRICS status is preferred but not essential. Previous data centre experience is not required; the priority is a well rounded Quantity Surveyor with strong consultancy experience, technical capability and a commercially focused approach.

• Competitive salary, negotiable on experience.
• Hybrid working arrangements, with flexibility around office location.
• Exposure to a major data centre client and a significant global project portfolio.
• A varied, technically focused and highly client facing role.
