Director Quantity Surveyor

Director of Cost Management | Nottingham | £80,000 - £110,000 + Bonus + Equity Opportunity

This is a genuine leadership role.

Not a title without responsibility.

Not a delivery‑focused Associate position dressed up as a Director.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a growing Cost Management function within one of the Midlands' most ambitious independent consultancies.

You'll play a key role in shaping the future growth of the Nottingham office, leading teams, developing client relationships, winning work, and helping drive the next phase of the business.

You'll take responsibility for the operational, commercial, and strategic performance of the Cost Management team, working closely with the senior leadership group to expand the firm's presence across the East Midlands and beyond.

The business has established relationships across commercial, industrial, logistics, healthcare, education, public sector, and private development sectors, providing a strong platform for continued growth.

This is a role for someone who enjoys building teams, growing revenue streams, developing clients, and influencing business strategy as much as delivering projects.
