Quantity Surveyor | Building Consultancy | Kent | £45,000 to £52,000 + Benefits

I'm working with a well‑regarded, independently run building and property consultancy based near to Tonbridge who are looking to recruit an experienced Quantity Surveyor into the team. This is a genuine opportunity to join a tight‑knit, professional team where your workload is varied, your development is taken seriously, and you're not just a number.

My client is a RICS‑regulated consultancy that operates across a broad spread of building sectors including commercial, residential, healthcare, education, retail and leisure, community, and industrial. They deliver cost management, project management, and building surveying services to a diverse client base, and they have a strong reputation for quality of service and client relationships. Small enough to give you real responsibility early;

established enough to offer the project variety and professional environment that will accelerate your career.

Joining as a Quantity Surveyor, you'll be embedded in live projects from day one, working across the full cost management lifecycle. Day to day, you can expect to be involved in:

• Preparation of cost plans, estimates, and feasibility studies
• Procurement support and tender documentation
• Contract administration and post‑contract cost control
• Valuation and final account preparation
• Client and design team liaison across multiple concurrent projects

My client is keen to hear from QSs who have built their experience on the consultancy or client‑side — someone who understands what it means to act as a trusted advisor rather than just a number‑cruncher. Specifically, you'll need:

• 2‑3 years PQS and working towards MRICS status
• A background in consultancy or client‑side QS roles within the UK building sector
• Solid exposure across the pre‑ and post‑contract stages
• Strong communication skills and confidence liaising directly with clients
• The commercial awareness and professional judgement to work with a degree of autonomy

Smaller consultancies often offer something the big nationals can't — genuine variety, real client exposure, and the chance to develop broad QS skills rather than being siloed into one stage of a project. The position also offers the support of an experienced and friendly team and a generous salary & package that includes:

• Starting salary of £45,000 to £52,000
• Travel allowance of £5,000
• 25 days leave + bank holidays
• Pension contributions

If you're a qualified QS with consultancy experience who feels like a small cog in a large machine, this could be the right move.

If this sounds like the kind of role you've been looking for, get in touch for a confidential conversation. I'm happy to share more detail before you decide whether to put yourself forward.
