Are you an experienced Commercial Manager or a high-performing Senior Quantity Surveyor ready to step into a strategic leadership role with a premier Tier 1 developer?

We are acting on behalf of a leading residential developer to source a Commercial Manager who will bridge the gap between the Commercial Director and an established commercial team.

To optimise delivery across their growing pipeline, our client is splitting their current team of 10 Surveyors into two distinct divisions. One half will be led by an internal Senior QS. You will take ownership of the second half, directly managing 5 Surveyors who oversee 7 to 8 live projects.

This role offers a perfect balance of strategic leadership and hands-on commercial management. Alongside your overarching team management duties, you will personally lead a flagship 200+ unit development in Godalming (a mixture of traditional and timber frame build). To ensure you have the capacity to lead effectively, you will be supported on this scheme by a dedicated Assistant Quantity Surveyor.

Why this is a standout opportunity:

• Clean Portfolio:
  You will pick up premium, incoming schemes in their pre-planning or early stages.
• Modern Flexibility:
  Benefit from an agile 3-2-1 working pattern (3 days office, 1 day working from home, 1 day on-site).

What our client requires:

• Background: A proven track record of employment with volume house builders or residential developers (direct competitor experience is highly valued).
• Systems:
  Practical, working knowledge of COINS software is highly desirable.
• Core Competencies:
  
  Comprehensive experience managing orders, variations, and driving rigorous CVR processes.
• Leadership:
  Strong leadership credentials with a natural ability to mentor, motivate, and develop a team of 5 QS professionals.
