A growing and well-established SME residential developer is looking to recruit an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join its commercial team.
The business has an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality, sustainable residential developments across Hertfordshire and Essex and has a strong pipeline of upcoming projects.

* Full commercial responsibility for residential developments.
* Procurement and management of subcontractor packages.

* Managing subcontractor valuations, payments and variations.
* Producing monthly cost reports, CVRs and forecasts.
* Monitoring project budgets and identifying commercial risks and opportunities.
* Managing variations and change control.
* Negotiating and agreeing final accounts.
* Working closely with construction and technical teams throughout the development lifecycle.
* Ensuring projects are delivered within agreed budgets and commercial targets.
The Candidate
* Previous experience as a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor.
* Residential developer/house builder experience preferred.
* Strong knowledge of residential construction.
* Experience commercially managing developments from procurement through to final account.
* Strong subcontractor procurement and negotiation experience.
* Good understanding of cost reporting, forecasting and CVRs.
* Commercially aware with the ability to take ownership of projects.
* Comfortable working within a smaller, hands-on developer environment.
What's on Offer
* Competitive salary and package.
* Excellent pipeline of projects across Hertfordshire and Essex.
* Opportunity to join a growing and sustainable residential developer.
* Greater autonomy and involvement than typically available within a larger PLC house builder.
* Genuine opportunity to develop alongside the business
