Quantity Surveyor

Quantity Surveyor - Western Division (Oxford/Abingdon)

We are seeking a commercially sharp and driven Quantity Surveyor to take the lead on a new 24-unit residential development in the Oxford North area. This isn't a "package" role; we need a surveyor who can own the project from a prelims perspective, work hand-in-hand with the site team, and serve as the primary commercial point of contact for our clients.

You will be joining our Western Division, reporting directly to the Commercial Manager
.

• Lead Site: A 24-unit development located in a prime Oxford North canal-side location.

• Supporting Roles: You will also provide commercial support for a nearby flagship canal-side project and an additional 90-unit site in the local area. Both supporting sites have dedicated QSs in place, allowing for a collaborative environment.

• Build Type: Traditional build projects with some RC frame elements (No timber frame).

This is a site-based position that requires a "boots on the ground" approach to commercial management. Your key responsibilities include:

• Client Management: Leading client meetings and maintaining strong professional relationships.

• Value Management: Optimising values, managing variations, and handling valuations with precision.

• Project Ownership: Running the job from a prelims perspective and collaborating closely with the site production team.

• Reporting: Providing clear, accurate commercial updates to the Divisional Commercial Manager.

• Location: Primarily site-based (Oxford North area), with one day per week (typically Wednesdays) in our Abingdon office
  .

• Package: £65,000 - £70,000 base salary + £6,900 Car Allowance.

• Start Date: ASAP.

You are a surveyor who thrives on autonomy but enjoys the backing of a solid divisional team. You should have:

• Proven experience in traditional build residential projects.
• The confidence to lead client-facing meetings and negotiations.
• A track record of managing variations and valuations to drive project profitability.
• A "whole-job" mindset, looking at the project beyond just specific trade packages.
